It was a stunning turnaround made possible by an ill-timed gaffe by the Illini, when miscommunication between swingman Tre White and guard Kasparas Jakucionis sent a simple inbounds pass into the backcourt, where Washington's Luis Kortright scooped it up and layed it in to tie the game at 75.

Kasparas Jakucionis had 18 points, six assists and five rebounds as No. 22 Illinois held on to defeat Washington 81-77 on Sunday afternoon in Seattle and complete a sweep of its trip to the Pacific Northwest.
