It wasn’t always pretty but Washington managed to stretch out the lead late with their small ball lineup and held on for a 72-65 victory over the Texas Southern Tigers. Washington was destroyed on the boards by TSU but forced 21 turnovers and held them to 2/18 from 3-pt range in order to pull out the win. Terrell Brown Jr. led the way for the Dawgs with 20 points and all 9 of Washington’s assists as UW improved to 2-1 on the season.
Neither team early on was able to get a stop. Texas Southern was able to recover 2 loose balls and both times it resulted in UW being out of position and giving up an easy look inside.
