Diallo, Claude And Steinbach Carry Washington To 74-65 Win Over Utah
December 29, 2025 | Men's Basketball
SEATTLE (AP) -- Zoom Diallo scored 24 points, Hannes Steinbach recorded a double-double and Washington won for the fourth time in its last five games by beating Utah 74-65 on Monday night inside Alaska Airlines Arena.
Desmond Claude scored 21 points, Steinbach scored 20 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, and Franck Kepnang grabbed 10 rebounds for Washington (9-4) which shot 51% (27 of 53) despite struggling from behind the 3-point line at 20% (3 of 15).
Along with a game-high 24 points, Diallo added a career-high seven assists and three rebounds.
Monday night marked the first time since 2016 that a trio of Huskies eclipsed the 20-point mark in a game.
The Huskies' largest lead in the first half was six points, with Steinbach, Diallo and Claude combining for 32 of the Dawgs' 36 first half points. 65 of Washington's 74 points came from the same trio.
Claude's shot 16 seconds into the second half gave Washington the lead for good.
Washington resumes Big Ten Conference play when it travels to face Indiana on Sunday at 5 p.m. PT on Big Ten Network.
