Stewart Leads No. 20 Washington Past Mount St. Mary's 56-46
November 12, 2019 | Men's Basketball
SEATTLE (AP) — Isaiah Stewart scored 16 points and blocked five shots, Nahziah Carter scored 12 of his 14 points in the second half, and No. 20 Washington overcame a rocky first half offensively to pull away for a 56-46 win over Mount St. Mary's on Tuesday night.
Days after opening the season with an upset of then-No. 16 Baylor, the Huskies had a slow start on the offensive end of the floor, but they found enough scoring in the second half to shake the pesky Mountaineers.
Stewart was again a force on the interior as the freshman made 7 of 10 shots, mostly from close range, and was imposing defensively. Carter ignited a sleepy arena with a fast-break dunk midway through the second half and followed with a 3-pointer from the wing to give Washington a 43-36 lead.
The Mountaineers (1-2) wouldn't go away, hitting five 3-pointers in the second half as they found gaps in Washington's zone defense. Vado Morse finished with 10 points. Naim Miller and Damian Chong Qui both added nine points.
Washington had lengthy scoring droughts and struggled to run its offense without Stewart in the post. The offensive woes were an amplified version of what Washington experienced in the opener against Baylor. It took a late 21-5 run to pull off the upset, which at least for one game hid the question of how the Huskies will go about replacing 80% of its scoring from last season.
Defense won't be the issue with Washington. It will be finding the right scoring options.
For this night, it was Stewart and Carter providing enough punch. Hameir Wright added nine points and seven rebounds.
Tied at 21-all at halftime, Washington jumped to a seven-point lead in the opening moments of the second half, but it was gone in a matter of minutes. Nana Opoku's rebound and basket caped an eight-point run and gave Mount St. Mary's a 34-33 lead with less than 12 minutes remaining.
It was the last lead for the Mountaineers, who were outscored 23-12 the rest of the way.
UP NEXT
The Huskies will face Tennessee in Toronto on Saturday.
