The question seemed innocent, but it caught Dejounte Murray off guard.
“What is it going to take for you to get your swag back?” he was asked Thursday after the Washington men’s basketball team lost its fourth straight game.
The freshman guard fired back: “I feel like I’ve never lost my swagger. … My swagger is always on. Always.”
Needing a win Saturday to boost the Huskies’ chances at capturing an at-large berth to the NCAA tournament, Murray scored 25 points to lead Washington to a 64-53 victory on Saturday at Alaska Airlines Arena.
It was UW’s first win since Feb.
