SEATTLE—Idaho head coach Jon Newlee expected a 3-point barrage on Tuesday night and he got it—just not what he had hoped for. No. 15 Washington hit 19 3's on the night to send Idaho packing 105-53 from the Alaska Airlines Center. The Vandals launched a school-record 52 3-point attempts in the loss.
The Huskies opened the night hitting nine 3's in the first quarter, shooting 52.9% from beyond the arc in the opening period. The hot start for Washington combined with Idaho's 0-for-9 start from the field resulted in a 35-8 lead for UW after 10 minutes of play.
