SEATTLE -- Even though the Huskies led almost the entire game, Washington just couldn't put UC Santa Barbara away. Until Jaylen Nowell took things into his own hands in the final minutes.
Nowell had 17 points, including a tie-breaking jumper with 1:13 left that gave the Huskies the lead for good as Washington came away with a 67-63 win over the Gauchos on Sunday night.
"An ugly win is better than a good-looking loss," UW coach Mike Hopkins said.
UCSB trailed most of the game, but UW couldn't put the game away until the final minute.
