The Huskies led by 10 points at the halftime break but saw the lead shrink to a single possession in the closing minutes, However, Osobor delivered clutch plays and the Dawgs made their free throws when they counted to secure the victory.
After Minnesota briefly tied the game at 64-all with just under three minutes to play, Osobor split a pair from the charity stripe to regain the lead for UW for good. The senior then putback Zoom Diallo's driving layup and stripped Lu'Cye Patterson to put the Huskies in control before four-straight free throws from DJ Davis and Mekhi Mason sealed the deal.
