First Round: WASHINGTON -- Washington committed 26 turnovers and missed 11 of
21 free throws, yet still managed to win its first NCAA tournament game in
14 years.
The 11th-seeded Huskies did it with defense, forcing 17 turnovers of their
own and holding Xavier to one field goal in the final 9:53. The clincher came
when 7-footers Patrick Femerling and Todd MacCulloch both got a hand
on the ball as T.J. Johnson attempted a buzzer-beating layup, preserving
Thursday's 69-68 victory over the sixth-seeded Musketeers.
