If you were looking for a pretty basketball game heading into Thanksgiving, this was not the game for you. The Washington Huskies (4-3) fought hard in the first half that saw a lot of sloppy play but ultimately end up losing to Nevada (3-4) by a score of 81-62. The Huskies looked like they may have had their Thanksgiving Turkey at Half-time as the energy quickly dropped on the defensive end and Nevada was able to pull away late.
UW came in looking for the Tourney Sweep and the Crossover Championship with a Win. For those that like to Bowl, a 3rd win would have been the basketball equivalent to bowling a Turkey.
