Steinbach's Double-Double And Washington's Balanced Scoring Topple Denver 84-70
November 06, 2025 | Men's Basketball
SEATTLE (AP) -- Hannes Steinbach had a double-double with 13 points and 16 rebounds, and Washington had seven players in double-figure scoring as the Huskies beat Denver 84-70 on Thursday night inside Alaska Airlines Arena.
Wesley Yates III also scored 13 points for Washington (2-0). Zoom Diallo scored 12 points and Bryson Tucker, JJ Mandaquit, along with reserves Quimari Peterson and Lathan Sommerville (5-for-5) all scored 11 points.
In the first ever meeting with Denver, the Huskies shot 50.8% (33 of 65) from the field while dishing out 19 assists and committing just nine turnovers.
The contest stayed even through the first 10 minutes, and Denver led 18-17. Steinbach made a layup less than a minute later to put the Huskies back up and they never trailed again. Washington outscored Denver 18-10 in the last 9:17 of the half and led 37-28 at halftime.
Β
Washington led by double figures for most of the second half. A Pioneer dunk with 12:18 left brought Denver within 54-46. They pulled to 68-61 and 70-63 but never got closer.
Diallo converted a three-point play, made two foul shots and Tucker made a jumper to extend Washington's lead to 80-63 with 3:32 left.
The Huskies hit the road for the first time this season as they head to Waco, Texas to take on Baylor on Sunday, Nov. 9. Tipoff is set for 5:30 p.m. PT on ESPN.
