Huskies squander 26-point performance from Markelle Fultz in 76-68 defeat to No. 5 Arizona. UW is riding a 9-game losing streak.
Washington’s losing streak ran to nine games following Saturday’s 76-68 defeat to No. 5 Arizona.
With just three games remaining before the Pac-12 Tournament, the Huskies (9-18 and 2-13) are running out of chances to collect a win.
However, Markelle Fultz believes Washington won’t end the season without capturing a win.
“We’re right there,” he said. “I think we’re getting ready for something big. We’re getting ready for this next game to get this next win for sure. Getting ready for Pac-12 (tournament).”
In his second game back following a two-game layoff due to a sore right knee, Fultz played 38 minutes and finished with 26 points on 7-for-16 shooting from the field and 10 of 15 on free throws. He also had six assists, two rebounds and four turnovers.
