The 12th seeded Huskies hoped for the second consecutive season that they could upset Colorado in the Pac-12 tournament. Unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be as the 5th seeded Buffs were able to hold off a 2nd half rally from Washington and hold on for a 64-52 win. Nancy Mulkey led Washington with 11 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 blocks to keep the Dawgs competitive but they finish their season 7-16 (2-12) in Coach Tina Langley’s first year.
It was an incredibly slow offensive start for both teams. Washington though couldn’t get anything done as they scored just one basket in the first 8 minutes.
