This was a big hurdle for Washington.
Sure there are tougher challenges ahead, but the Huskies’ 75-62 win over USC might have been the statement victory they’ve been seeking all season.
The Trojans’ resume may suggest otherwise, but they won three straight games and looked like a Pac-12 title contender before Wednesday’s showdown between the top teams in the conference.
However, the Huskies frustrated USC all night long while cruising to their 10th straight win.
Washington improved to 17-4 and 8-0 in the Pac-12 for their best conference start since the 1952-53 season.
