Washington Fends off Arizona State in 69-66 OT Win
January 26, 2023 | Men's Basketball
SEATTLE (AP) - Keion Brooks Jr. scored 22 points, Noah Williams scored 18 points and Washington (13-9, 5-6 Pac-12) led most of the way following a sluggish start to beat Arizona State 69-66 in overtime Thursday night.
"I thought transition defense was the key to the game," said Head Coach Mike Hopkins following the Huskies' fourth win in five games. "After falling down early, we made it a game largely because our defense really stepped up."
Williams started overtime with a jump shot and a pair of foul shots wrapped around Brooks' 3-pointer and the Huskies led all the way in overtime.
Arizona State freshman Austin Nunez made three foul shots with 0.6 seconds left in regulation to tie it at 54 and send it to the bonus period.
The Sun Devils built a 12-0 lead in a little more than the first five minutes before the Huskies unloaded, outscoring Arizona State 20-4 in an almost 10-minute stretch. Cole Bajema made three three-pointers in a five-possession stretch for the Huskies for a 20-16 lead with 4:47 before halftime and Washington never trailed again.
Washington continued the offensive onslaught outscoring Arizona State 12-4 and led 32-20 at intermission.
Bajema scored 11 points and grabbed nine rebounds for Washington, Keyon Menifield 10 and Braxton Meah had 11 rebounds. With this three-pointer, Brooks reached 1,000 points for his career.
Washington hosts No. 6 Arizona on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. The game is a White Out and limited tickets remain.
