LOS ANGELES — When adversity struck and the fans at Pauley Pavilion began to roar with excitement, the Huskies appeared flustered and flummoxed while fading away in the final minutes like they had so many times this season.
Washington led for over 19 minutes and had a 12-point lead in the second half, but none of that mattered on Saturday night at UCLA.
Not with David Singleton draining deep three-pointers and Chris Smith punishing the Huskies inside during a 67-57 defeat on Saturday night.
Washington (12-14, 2-11 Pac-12) lost for the eighth straight time, which is the third longest losing streak in school history.
