Washington has Five in Double Figures, Beats Idaho State 90-55
December 17, 2022 | Men's Basketball
SEATTLE (AP) - Keyon Menifield scored 13 points to lead five in double figures and Washington beat Idaho State 90-55 on Saturday night.
Braxton Meah added 12 points for Washington (9-3, 1-1), which shot 55% (34 of 62) from the floor. PJ Fuller II, Cole Bajema and Koren Johnson scored 11 points apiece. Keion Brooks Jr. had eight points, 10 rebounds and a career-high six assists.
"I was really happy with the way our guys came out," said Head Coach Mike Hopkins following the win. "It was a great team win. I was just really happy with everybody on our team."
The Huskies dished out a season-high 24 assists led by a career-high seven from Menifield. Fuller made three 3-pointers and four others had at least one. The Huskies also had 12 dunks and out-rebounded Idaho State 42-27.
Washington closed the first half on a 14-2 run and led 41-22 at the break. Idaho State cut the deficit to 17 points with 16:11 to play, but Meah answered with an alley-oop dunk and six minutes later the Huskies had a 30-point lead.
Brayden Parker scored 15 points and Brock Mackenzie had 14 for Idaho State. It was the first meeting since 2013 between the teams. The Huskies have won all six in the series.
Washington hosts No. 19 Auburn on Wednesday before returning to Pac-12 Conference play when it hosts Southern California at home on Dec. 30. Wednesday's game will be a Purple Out with rally towels handed out to the first 2,500 fans in attendance.
