After being swept out of Los Angeles, Washington has lost six of seven games. Washington head coach Lorenzo Romar said after the UCLA loss he was concerned about his team discarding it before the USC game. Washington was off to a putrid start Sunday night, but Romar said afterward he didn’t think the UCLA loss had anything to with it on the way to a 71-60 loss to USC.
