It’s hard to win a basketball game when you only make 4 out of 24 attempts from behind the three point line. Unfortunately for the Washington Huskies, that’s exactly what happened tonight, leading to their ninth straight loss.
The final score doesn’t accurately portray how close the first 30 minutes of this game was. During that span, neither team led by more than 4 points. The first half was a seesaw of changing leads and ties between the two teams. Despite their lack of three pointers, the Huskies still managed to make nearly 44% of their field goals and went 7/7 from the charity stripe to score a respectable 37 points in the first half and take a two-point lead into the break.
