Washington Tops Colorado for First Conference Win
December 04, 2022 | Men's Basketball
SEATTLE (AP) - Cole Bajema and Braxton Meah scored 16 points each and Washington held off Colorado 73-63 on Sunday in conference play.
Keion Brooks Jr. added 14 points, seven rebounds and four assists for the Huskies (7-2, 1-1 Pac-12) and Jamal Bey had 12 points and tied a career-high with five steals.
"The coaching staff does a great job of getting these guys prepared," Head Coach Mike Hopkins said when asked about players stepping up. "I think our guys' resiliency is key. They keep coming."
A three-point play by PJ Fuller II and a 3-pointer from Cole Bajema helped the Huskies build a 62-56 lead with a little less than two minutes remaining. Javon Ruffin hit a 3-pointer for Colorado, then the Huskies got a layup from Brooks and a dunk and free throw from Meah for a 67-59 lead with 45 seconds remaining. Colorado scored the next four points but a dunk by Fuller with 22 seconds left helped the Huskies seal it.
The Huskies forced 18 turnovers on a season-high 11 steals. J'Vonne Hadley led Colorado (4-5, 0-2) with 15 points.
UW gets a few extra days in between games before heading to Spokane for a Friday tilt against No. 14 Gonzaga.
