The game was USC's. Earlier this month, it led Washington by 22 points. The Trojans looked hungry. The Huskies looked lifeless.
Then USC guard Julian Jacobs turned an ankle, and the Trojans fell apart. Washington enjoyed a huge comeback win.
The Trojans and Huskies meet again on Saturday at the Galen Center, and for USC it will be a chance to ease the sting of its collapse in Seattle.
"It's a big game," guard Katin Reinhardt said. "We felt like we should've won that game."
The first game turned when Jacobs left with the ankle injury.
