The Huskies knew they were putting themselves in a rough spot playing #2 Baylor on just a few days notice and that certainly turned out to be true in a disappointing 86-52 drubbing. Baylor could seemingly do no wrong as they drilled Washington from the 3-point arc and secured just about every single rebound.
Washington put up a fight on the defensive end early but struggled mightily to get good looks from the field. Nate Roberts took the team’s first shot (a fadeaway missed baseline jumper) and Erik Stevenson was blocked on UW’s first 3-point attempt. The Dawgs finally got on the board on a Hameir Wright offensive putback following a Jamal Bey missed 3-pointer.
