January 24, 2024 | Men's Basketball
SEATTLE (AP) – Washington could not contain the visiting Colorado Buffaloes on Wednesday, losing 98-81 at Alaska Airlines Arena.
"We haven't been able to get enough stops late in games," Coach Hopkins said. "It felt like, when we got a stop, we couldn't get the rebound. Too many of those second chance points and too many of those rebounds. We were not good enough."
Keion Brooks Jr. led Washington with 22 points, Moses Wood 13 and reserve Braxton Meah and Paul Mulcahy 11 each.
Koren Johnson had a career-high seven assists with more than half resulting in alley-oop dunks.
Washington made 33 of 61 (54.1%). Wood made three of his four three-pointers and also grabbed six rebounds.
Washington entered having won 14 of 16 all-time meetings in Seattle against Colorado including the last seven games.
Colorado led for the rest of the game after KJ Simpson made three foul shots to make it 21-19 with 9:02 left in the first half. Colorado led 50-41 at halftime.
Washington (11-9, 3-6) hosts Utah on Saturday at 7 p.m.
