SEATTLE (AP) -- Washington could not contain Isaiah Collier and USC on Saturday, suffering an 82-75 defeat at Alaska Airlines Arena.
"I felt like we went on a couple of runs, but couldn't stop them," said Mike Hopkins.
A 3-pointer by Koren Johnson got Washington within 72-68 with 3 1/2 minutes remaining, just 3 minutes after Southern California had built a 15-point lead.
Collier took over a minute later, scoring on four consecutive USC possessions, the fourth of those makes gave the Trojans an 80-75 lead with 28 seconds left.
Johnson led Washington (16-14, 8-11) with 21 points, including 4 of 5 3-pointers. Keion Brooks Jr. had 20 points and Sahvir Wheeler added 10.
Brooks hit a 3-pointer for Washington and he finished the half with three free throws to get the Huskies within one after being fouled with 1 second left. He made all eight of his free throws in the game.
UW made 13 of 32 threes and has now made 28 in the last two games, the most in a two-game span since 2011.
