Washington hasn’t had a lot of success in close games this season. The one exception was down in Berkeley when Moses Wood hit a buzzer beating three-pointer to give the Huskies the win over Cal. Turnabout is fair play as Cal hit a go-ahead three with just 4 seconds left and Sahvir Wheeler’s layup at the buzzer didn’t fall to drop UW by a score of 82-80. Poor free throw shooting doomed the Huskies at home yet again as they fall to 14-12 (6-9) on the season despite Keion Brooks Jr.’s 26 points.
Sahvir Wheeler tried to get UW early but struggled with an airball on a pullup jumper and then a missed floater to allow Cal to strike first blood.
