LAS VEGAS — After Cole Bajema somehow converted the layup of a lifetime before crashing to the court that pulled the Huskies even with 1:25 left, Colorado’s Luke O’Brien drained a dagger 3-pointer on the ensuing possession.
On its next trip, Keyon Menifield tried to whip a pass along the baseline to Bajema in the corner that was intercepted and Buffaloes’ Julian Hammond III drained a midrange jumper that essentially decided the game.
Washington never got anything going on three of its last four offensive possessions and fell 74-68 in the first round of the Pac-12 men’s basketball tournament.
