The Huskies fell behind by double digits in the first 10 minutes, but they played the Cardinal evenly after that and then drew closer on a Justin Dentmon 3-pointer just before the buzzer.

Quincy Pondexter — played before some family that came up from his hometown of Fresno — leads UW with nine points and lots of energy. Jon Brockman has eight points and eight rebounds.

With their postseason hopes hanging by a thread, the Huskies fly out tonight for what has proven to be their historically toughest road trip.
