Huskies Best UC San Diego, 83-56, At Home
November 28, 2023 | Men's Basketball
SEATTLE (AP) -- Keion Brooks Jr. scored 18 points and collected 12 rebounds and Washington was never threatened in an 83-56 win over UC San Diego on Tuesday night at Alaska Airlines Arena.
"I thought our guys adapted really well," Head Coach Mike Hopkins said. "Our defense and rebounding were good, but we really pushed the pace and picked up the offense in the second half."
Kentucky graduate transfer Sahvir Wheeler scored 17 points, reserve Braxton Meah 14 and Koren Johnson 12 for Washington (4-2). Wheeler also added eight assists and six rebounds.
Brooks and Moses Wood made layups to get Washington going, and in a little more than an eight-minute span, the Huskies led 20-9.
DeGraaf's three-point play with 2:09 left before halftime marked the last time San Diego got within single figures and the Huskies led 34-24 at halftime.
Nate Calmese found Braxton Meah on a lob off the backboard that ignited the crowd with under 12 minutes remaining.
Washington gradually began to pull away and posted its first 20-point plus advantage of the night when Anthony Holland made a three to make it 60-39 with 8:31 remaining.
The Dawgs grabbed 54 rebounds, which is tied for the third most since 2016. It is the team's third game of 80 or more points, bringing the season average to 82.7.
Washington travels to Las Vegas to play No. 20 Colorado State on Saturday at MGM Garden Arena. Tipoff is 4 p.m.
