After Washington’s victory over Colorado in the Pac-12 tournament semifinals, the Huskies talked about the satisfaction of frustrating teams with their defense.
In their 68-48 loss to Oregon in the championship game on Saturday night, UW was on the other side of the equation.
It was the Huskies, not their opponent, who looked baffled offensively. Much like in their loss to the Ducks on senior night a week ago, UW just couldn’t figure out how to attack Oregon’s defense.
The Huskies’ outside shots wouldn’t fall. Their layups rimmed out. Kenny Wooten had four blocks. UW couldn’t even get to the foul line.
