Winthrop came into tonight’s game on 5 days rest while running an 11-man lineup. Washington played 3 games in 72 hours just a few days ago. It certainly looked like it as the Huskies were unable to put up much of a fight in a disappointing 82-74 loss against the Eagles. Washington shot the ball well from both 3-point range (41%) and the free throw line (93%) but gave away too many possessions to be able to keep up. The Dawgs fall to 4-4 on the season despite not yet playing a power conference squad.
The Huskies had 4 turnovers in the first 5 minutes which led to 8 Winthrop points to help jumpstart their offense.
