The campus of the University of Washington in Seattle is home to some of the most picturesque settings in all of Division I college sports. Chief among them is Lake Washington, which borders the football stadium.
Less than a mile from that lake, Arizona State men’s basketball was boat raced by the host Washington Huskies from the opening tip until the final buzzer in a deflating 87-64 loss on Thursday night.
Any doubt in this contest was erased by a dominant 10 minutes to start the second half by the Huskies (13-9, 8-4 Pac-12). In that stretch, the all white-and-purple-clad home team made a ridiculous 10 of 15 shots from the floor, including 4 of 5 from 3-point range, to leave the Sun Devils (7-15, 3-9) in their wake.
