PREVIEW
The Washington Huskies lost another heartbreaking finish the other night to begin their two-game homestand at Alaska Airlines Arena.
Today’s game will be televised on the Pac-12 Networks, and the Huskies will have to exhibit laser focus in the last five minutes of the game to win.
Washington came out and shot well from behind the arc against the Arizona Wildcats, during their 75-72 defeat, but turnovers and a lack of execution snatched a victory away.
Arizona State is currently 12-8 (3-4) on the season, and recently suffered a 67-65 defeat on the road against the Washington State Cougars, after giving up a three-pointer at the end.
