Washington Beats Arizona State In Tempe 84-82 In OT
February 22, 2024 | Men's Basketball
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -- Braxton Meah made two free throws with 32 seconds left in overtime and Washington beat Arizona State 84-82 on Thursday night.
"It wasn't pretty, but we found a way to win," Head Coach Mike Hopkins said. "We were able to close a game that we hadn't closed."
The Huskies (15-12, 7-9 Pac-12 Conference) led 49-24 after Sahvir Wheeler sank a three-pointer and one of two free throws 91 seconds into the second half.
Meah made one of two free throws to give Washington the lead just over a minute into the extra period. Down three with 3:14 remaining, Keion Brooks Jr. sank two free throws and Moses Wood followed with a layup as the Huskies moved in front by a point.
Jamiya Neal dunked and Jose Perez made the second of two foul shots for ASU, but Wood's layup knotted the score at 82. After Meah gave the Huskies the lead at the free throw line, the defense forced two ASU misses to secure the win.
Brooks led Washington with 21 points, adding eight rebounds. Koren Johnson had 17 points and seven assists. Meah finished with 13 points and 14 rebounds for his third double-double. He was 1 for 5 from the foul line until sinking two for the victory. Wood scored 10.
Wilhelm Breidenbach followed a three-point play with a three-pointer and Brooks added a layup as Washington jumped out to a 17-7 lead seven minutes into the game.
Brooks and Johnson hit back-to-back three-pointers and the Huskies closed on a 16-0 run to take a 45-24 advantage into halftime. They forced the Sun Devils to miss their final eight attempts and shoot 29%.
Washington snapped a four-game losing streak in Tempe and swept the season series for the first time since 2016.
UW travels to play No. 4 Arizona on Saturday. The game tips off at 11 a.m. Pacific Time on CBS.
