After Washington (6-2) took a 34-25 lead with 16:07 left in regulation, UCSB went on a 12-2 run fueled by two 3-pointers by Jay Nagle and another by Ramsey. A free throw by Amadou Sow gave the Gauchos their first lead of the game, 37-36, with 11:47 remaining.

A 3-pointer by Matisse Thybulle with 11:20 left snapped a five-minute drought without a field goal for Washington. The Huskies pulled out to a 45-38 lead after Dickerson converted a three-point play with 10:15 left.
