The Huskies are no stranger to come from ahead losses on the road this season. They were up in the second half against both Utah and Colorado before ultimately letting those opportunities slip through their fingers. It looked to be happening again tonight as Cal turned an 11-point Husky 2nd half advantage into a 6-point Bears lead with 2 minutes left. Washington took advantage of some Cal missed free throws and Moses Wood’s corner 3-pointer beat the buzzer to give the Dawgs a 77-75 win and improve to 11-7 (3-4) on the season.
Washington decided to make a change and start Wilhelm Breidenbach at center which was an interesting choice going against the best frontcourt in the Pac-12 with Fardaws Aimaq down low and Jaylon Tyson at power forward.
