Coming off a tournament victory and upset of Saint Mary's it was natural to think UW may be ripe for a letdown. A collapse in the middle 10 minutes of the game saw the Huskies blow a double-digit lead and increased those fears. Washington's defense though finally started to collect steals in the final 12 minutes which led to dunks and in the end UW ran away for a 77-66 victory. The win improves UW to 6-1 on the season.
Washington got off to just about the perfect start. Braxton Meah worked his size advantage for a pair of baskets and after each was a 3 by PJ Fuller and then Cole Bajema.
