Huskies Hang Around, Fall At No. 5 Purdue
January 07, 2026 | Men's Basketball
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. β Washington outscored Purdue by nine in the second half, but a 23-deficit early in the second frame couldn't be fully erased as the Huskies fell to the Boilermakers Wednesday night, losing to No. 5 Purdue 73-81.
Big nights from the big men Franck Kepnang and Hannes Steinbach led a quartet of Huskies into double digit scoring.
Steinbach led Husky scorers with 17 points on 7-of-11 shooting. Kepnang recorded his third career double-double and first since Dec. 5, 2023, putting up 10 points and 10 rebounds before fouling out late in the second half.
Quimari Peterson notched 15 points and three assists, notching his 10th double digit game of the season. Zoom Diallo added 14 points and a career-high eight dimes - in the last three outings, the sophomore has dished out 22 assists.
Trailing by 23 at 16:47 in the second half, Washington used a late push to cut the Purdue lead to single digits with 3:10 left on the clock thanks to Peterson's season-high fifth three-pointer of the night.
Β
The Huskies return to Seattle for a three-game swing, beginning with hosting Ohio State on Sunday, Jan. 11.
