Washington’s uncomfortable post-Thanksgiving feeling had nothing to do with gorging on turkey or missing out on a hot Black Friday sale.
The Huskies men’s basketball team could never really get away from Seattle. If UW (3-2) went up by seven points, Seattle found a way to bringing it within one.
Eventually the Huskies found breathing room. Freshman guard Jaylen Nowell would hit two late free throws and send UW to a 89-84 win over the Redhawks (2-4) on Friday at Alaska Airlines Arena.
Nowell, who finished with a game-high 25 points, is showing he can handle late-game pressure.
