It was a familiar scene last night for the Washington women’s basketball team. With the Huskies trailing by three points (42-39) with 14:40 remaining in the game, Oregon State rolled off a 13-3 run in the next six minutes, ending all drama for a 77-63 win in Corvallis.

The Huskies (5-17, 1-11 Pac-10) extended their school-record losing streak to 11 games, while the Beavers (14-8, 5-8 Pac-10) won their third game out of the last four.

“We’ve faced teams that we’re all pretty confident that we should beat, and we don’t,” Washington guard Sami Whitcomb told radio station 1150AM KKNW.

The junior co-captain went on to say her team’s “lack of competing every game, every possession” was a disappointment.

UW coach Tia Jackson outlined the UW’s shortcomings Thursday night.

“They get 30 points from the free-throw line; that’s a tough pill to swallow,” Jackson told KKNW. “On top of that, we give up 18 on [offensive] boards.”

Indeed, the foul discrepancy played a huge role in the Huskies’ loss to OSU, with the Beavers attempting 38 free throws to the Huskies’ 13. It didn’t help the Dawgs that OSU made 30 of theirs while the Huskies made only eight.

“We sent them to the line way too many times,” Whitcomb said.

But in the first half, when the fouls were more even, the Huskies were able to get key Oregon State players into some foul trouble.

“We were able to get [OSU guard Alex Mitchell] in foul trouble and sent three of their players down,” Jackson said. “That was the good part of all that. On the flip side, we didn’t take advantage of it as much as we would have hoped.”

The other two Beaver players were guard Mercedes Fox-Griffin and center Tiffany Ducker.

As Jackson said, the Huskies were less than brilliant in rebounding, allowing the Beavers to grab 40 total boards while snagging just 31 for themselves.

Oregon State’s 18 offensive rebounds led to 24 second-chance points.

The Huskies’ foul and rebounding discrepancies could have been caused by their lack of solid defense against the Beavers.

“We didn’t see anything that we didn’t prepare for though; we knew the plays they were going to run,” Whitcomb said.

However, Jackson thought the Huskies might have been concentrating too much on offense.

“Oregon State does such a good job of misdirection within their offense,” Jackson said. “It’s typically indicative of the youth on this team is that you define yourself by scoring. We have got to realize that we can’t.”

All of the Huskies’ struggles may have translated to their frustration as well.

Both guard Christina Rozier and forward Liz Lay were called for technical fouls in the second half. In Lay’s case, this was her second technical in as many games.

“When you’re being told, ‘Hey, don’t say anything,’ [you] don’t say anything,” Jackson said. “Any time we argue with the ref, nothing’s going to come back to benefit us.”

Next, Washington will need to prepare for a Saturday afternoon meeting with Oregon.

“They’re not going to be more angry than us,” Jackson said.
