WACO, Texas (AP) – Four Huskies scored in double figures, but it wasn't enough to make a late push, as Baylor defeated Washington 78-69 on Sunday night at Foster Pavilion.

Zoom Diallo led Washington (2-1) with 15 points and Quimari Peterson scored 11. Hannes Steinbach had 10 points and 15 rebounds for his second consecutive double-double.

JJ Mandaquit also added 10 points for the Huskies. Wesley Yates III scored eight and Lathan Sommerville added seven.

Yates hit a 3-pointer to cap a 7-2 spurt that trimmed Washington's deficit to 57-53 with 9:48 remaining in the game, but Baylor responded 32 seconds later with a three-point play to spark a 9-3 run to push the lead back into double figures about two minutes later.

The Huskies outrebounded Baylor 42-33 and had a 42-28 advantage in points in the paint, but made just 3 of 20 (15%) from 3-point range.

Washington plays Friday at Washington State. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. PT on ESPN+.
