Once again, the Huskies had the “wow” plays.
They had Nahziah Carter flying to the rim for a fast-break dunk. They had Carter throwing an alley-oop pass from near mid-court to Isaiah Stewart who flushed on Stanford’s Tyrell Terry.
And they had RaeQuan Battle draining a three-pointer despite being fouled for a rare four-point play.
But like so many games during their seven-week losing streak, Washington’s offense went cold during a decisive second-half drought that ultimately decided the outcome.
On Thursday night, the Huskies went without a field goal for nearly 10 minutes while squandering a three-point lead and failing to keep pace with the Cardinal in a 72-64 defeat at Alaska Airlines Arena.
