SEATTLE (AP) — Keion Brooks Jr. scored 26 points, Sahvir Wheeler added 16, and Washington defeated Oregon State 79-72 on Saturday.
Washington's 16-0 first half run put the Huskies (9-6, 1-3 Pac-12) in front and they held on throughout the second half, despite a late challenge led by Jordan Pope of the Beavers (9-6, 1-3).
Oregon State missed its first three free throws of the second half and didn't have a successful free throw until Pope hit a pair with 3:17 remaining. Those were the first two points of a six-point run that got the Beavers within 71-65 heading to the final two minutes.
