Cats lose at home to Washington, Martinelli held to 19

Cats lose to Washington at home, 76-62.

The last time Martinelli, one of the nation’s leading scorers, was held under 20 was on December 3rd.

The Cats tried to make a comeback in the 2nd half, but Washington was shooting 3s at well above their season average and the Cats just couldn’t hit the shots.

The Cats now enter a brutal part of their season, with 3 of the next 4 games against Top 10 schools, and two of those on the road. I think the best we can hope for them is that they win enough games to escape the Tuesday rounds at the Big Ten Tournament, and that won’t be easy.
