Washington upset Utah 64-54 in Las Vegas, advances to second round against Oregon State.
LAS VEGAS — After winning just two games during conference play, Missy Peterson and her Washington teammates were thrilled to pull off the only upset of the opening day of the Pac-12 tournament.
Peterson matched her career high with 23 points and the 11th-seeded Huskies beat sixth-seeded Utah 64-54 on Thursday night.
“Wins in this conference or Division I basketball period is huge,” Peterson said. “Nobody is an easy game. We knew Utah was going to be hard. We weren’t ready for it to be our last game.
