10 Mar
Summary
- Huskies lost after squandering a 21-point deficit.
- A controversial four-point play sealed the Huskies' fate.
- Coach Sprinkle received two technical fouls and was ejected.
The University of Washington Huskies experienced a devastating defeat following a remarkable comeback against Oregon. The team managed to erase a 21-point deficit in the first half, only to see their lead evaporate in the final seconds. A crucial four-point play by Oregon, involving a three-pointer and a foul, gave the Ducks an 80-79 advantage with just 22.5 seconds remaining.
Compounding the disappointment, head coach Danny Sprinkle was ejected from the game after receiving two technical fouls. The ejection occurred following a late foul call on the Huskies, which Sprinkle vehemently disputed. This incident marked Sprinkle's first career ejection as a college coach, a moment that seemed to stem from a season marred by player injuries and frustrating foul calls.
