SEATTLE (AP) -- Hannes Steinbach scored 21 points and Bryson Tucker added a double-double to power Washington to a 94-50 victory over Arkansas-Pine Bluff in a season opener Monday night inside Alaska Airlines Arena.
UW's 44-point win Monday night was the first 40+ point victory since 2017 when the Huskies defeated Bethune-Cookman by 51, 106-55. The last 40+ point season-opening win for the Dawgs was on Nov. 13, 2007 against NJIT (88-47).
Steinbach made 9 of 11 shots, including his only 3-point attempt, and added seven rebounds and six assists for the Huskies. Tucker totaled 12 points and 10 rebounds to notch his first career double-double.
Wesley Yates III and Zoom Diallo pitched in with 14 points apiece for Washington and Quimari Peterson scored 13.
JJ Mandaquit dished out eight assists to go along with four points and four rebounds.
Steinbach scored 15 in the first half on 7-for-8 shooting to help Washington roll to a 41-18 lead at intermission.

Arkansas-Pine Bluff hit a 3-pointer to tie it 4-4, but Steinbach had a layup following a 3-pointer by Peterson to cap a 7-0 run and the Huskies were never threatened from there.
UAPB shot 25.4% from the floor and 25.8% from 3-point range.
Washington dominated the boards 53-32 and forced 16 turnovers.
The Huskies are back home in Alaska Airlines Arena on Thursday, Nov. 6 against Denver at 7 p.m. Tickets are available.
