SEATTLE — Swish-less in Seattle.
Colorado shot an anemic 36.2 percent from the field and fell to 1-5 on the road with a 64-54 loss to Washington on Wednesday night at Alaska Airlines Arena.
The Buffs (11-6, 1-4) did not make a good first impression as the program made its first trip to the Great Northwest as a member of the Pac-12 Conference.
Tad Boyle challenged his players to hold themselves accountable by adhering to his defensive and rebounding principles.
CU held the hot Huskies (12-5, 4-0) to 33.9 percent from the field (20-for-59) and had a 38-37 edge on the glass.
But reigning Pac-12 player of the week C.J. Wilcox, who averaged 23.0 points and 8.5 rebounds during the Huskies’ road sweep of Cal and Stanford, blistered the Buffs for 25 points on 8-for-14 shooting.
