Lorenzo Romar knows where Sam Timmins’ rookie mistakes are most likely to manifest. Maybe one of those interior passes — a strength of the 6-foot-11 forward’s game — gets deflected. Maybe one of those layup attempts — after a seal attempt –—gets blocked.
It’s why Romar wishes the Washington Huskies were in a position to just let Timmins play through those frustrations and adjust to college basketball’s faster pace and more frenetic effort. But at 9-12 overall and 2-7 in Pac-12 play — USC, with its 18-4 record, visits at 8 p.m. Wednesday — they aren’t having that kind of season.
