Washington Falls In Boeing Apple Cup 90-87 In OT
February 03, 2024 | Men's Basketball
SEATTLE (AP) -- Washington tied the score late in regulation but ultimately fell 90-87 in overtime in Saturday's Boeing Apple Cup Series game at Alaska Airlines Arena.
"I'm sick for our fans," Coach Hopkins said. "We just couldn't get some stops when we needed stops. We didn't execute when we had to execute."
Keion Brooks Jr. scored a career-high 35 points, but missed an off-balance three-point attempt with two seconds left in overtime that could have pulled the Huskies even. Brooks was 12-of-23 shooting and 11 of 13 at the free-throw line.
The 298th all-time meeting between the schools was the last in Seattle for the foreseeable future with both teams part of the same conference.
Sahvir Wheeler gave the Huskies the lead at 82-81 with 22 seconds left in the second half, Moses Wood missed the second of two free throws with 11 seconds left in regulation and Isaac Jones' tying dunk with four seconds remaining sent the game to overtime. Washington (12-10, 4-7) did not get a good look off before the buzzer.
Â
Washington led by as many as 11 in the first half, but Washington State closed the half on an 18-3 run, including the final 13 points, to take a 44-40 lead at the break. Thanks largely to Brooks carrying the scoring lead, Washington built a 76-71 lead with 4:06 left after Wood hit his fifth three-pointer.
Wood finished with 18 points and Sahvir Wheeler had 16 points.
Another rivalry game awaits the Huskies, who will visit Oregon next Thursday.
