In what looked like Washington could cruise to a double digit victory, turned into very tense moments late in the game. The Stanford Cardinal battled back down 22 points and as much as 21 points in the 2nd half to get within 2 points late in the game but the Washington Huskies are able to survive to pull out the victory.
Coming off an impressive victory over Cal, this would be a big test for Washington to face a Stanford team who has won 4 games in a row going into this game. This was also another revenge game for a UW player as Daejon Davis transferring from Stanford to Washington in the off-season so this game offered a lot of intrigue going into it.
