On the night when No. 1 Kentucky made the wrong type of history and lost at home to unranked Evansville, the 20th-ranked Huskies nearly provided further proof that early-season upsets are common in college basketball.
Washington spent much of the first few minutes against Mount St. Mary’s firing up errant shots that missed the mark and in some cases quite literally kicking the ball away, during a forgettable, error-filled first half that resulted in an unlikely 21-21 tie at the break.
Despite a soaring highlight dunk from Nahziah Carter that got a dormant Alaska Airlines Arena buzzing and set social media on fire, the Huskies never truly got the offense going in this one.
