Washington’s offense looked broken playing their first game since learning that Quade Green was ruled academically ineligible as Stanford roared back in the final minutes to beat the Huskies 61-55. The Husky defense contained Stanford’s stars in the first half but Washington went ice cold in the final 8 minutes to blow a 12 point second half lead. Washington falls to 11-5 (1-2) while Stanford improves to 13-2 (2-0).
With a matchup between 2 of the best defenses in the country there was an expectation that this game might be a rock fight even before Quade Green was announced to be out.
