around jumper and Ingraham
scored, but the Huskies still led
27-18 after three.

throws and Ingraham scored to
make it 29-22.

throws to make it 31-25 but the

35-29 and Ingraham hit a running
baseline jumper and then a long
jumper from the top of the key to
make it 35-33 with less than a
minute left. The Huskies then
