SPOKANE, Wash. — The Washington men’s basketball team believed they were closing the gap on No. 18 Gonzaga considering the scoring margin in their past two matchups — both Bulldog wins — was an average of 4 1/2 points and the games were decided in the final minutes.
Drew Timme scored a game-high 22 points and made sure the Zags retained their dominance in the in-state rivalry with a resounding 77-60 nonconference victory in front of a sold-out crowd of 6,000 at McCarthey Athletic Center.
They Bulldogs extended several streaks on Friday night. They beat the Huskies for the seventh straight time and have won 14 of the past 15 games in the in-state rivalry since 1998.
