It was a rough weekend for the Pac-12 men’s basketball teams from Washington and Washington State. Both teams dropped in the rankings after going winless over the weekend.
Washington State had a particularly tough time, losing to both Oregon and Oregon State. The Cougars were unable to keep up with the Ducks and Beavers, and were outscored by a combined total of 46 points. This was the first time this season that Washington State had been swept in a weekend series, and the losses dropped them to 11th in the Pac-12 standings.
Washington also had a tough weekend, losing to both UCLA and USC. The Huskies were outscored by a combined total of 28 points, and dropped to 10th in the Pac-12 standings. This was the second time this season that Washington had been swept in a weekend series.
The losses for both teams come at a bad time, as they are both fighting for a spot in the NCAA Tournament. Washington State is currently 18-10 overall, while Washington is 17-11 overall. Both teams will need to pick up some wins in their remaining games if they want to make it into the tournament.
It was certainly a disappointing weekend for both Washington and Washington State, but they still have time to turn things around and make a run at the NCAA Tournament. They will need to put together some strong performances in their remaining games if they want to make it into the Big Dance.
