Home streak over for men's basketball

Freshman guard Marshawn Wilson drives to the lane in Tuesday’s game against Buffalo. Wilson scored a career high 25 points and corralled seven rebounds, but the Huskies weren’t able to escape an early deficit, losing 90-78.

The three-game skid for the Huskies comes after a stretch in which the team had won two games in a row and nine of its last 10. They’ve given up at least 70 points in each game of their current losing streak, averaging 67 points compared to the 74 points they were averaging in the seven games prior. They were allowing 64 points to opposing teams in that seven-game period.
