Idaho State Bengals at Washington Huskies
· NCAA Men's Basketball
66 - 85
Wilcox, Blackwell lead Huskies past Bengals 85-66
The Huskies had dropped three of five, including last Sunday's setback at No. 25 San Diego State. But Washington started its final stretch of games before beginning Pac-12 play with a surprising challenge out of the Bengals from the Big Sky.
Washington (5-4) saw a 13-point lead trimmed to five with 7:04 remaining, but Andrew Andrews and Wilcox combined for nine straight points as the Huskies finally pulled away. Andrews added 17 points for Washington.
Tomas Sanchez and Jeffrey Solarin led the Bengals (3-4) with 14 points each.
Idaho State went quiet from the field in the final 10 minutes. The Bengals scored their final eight points at the free throw line and did not make a field goal the final 9:51.
Washington coach Lorenzo Romar will have concerns to address before Tuesday's game at Tulane and ahead of its Dec. 22 showdown at home against Connecticut. The Bengals scored with ease on the interior for the first 30 minutes of the game and then couldn't make a basket most of the final 10 minutes as the Huskies defense tightened.
Idaho State missed its final eight shots after scoring 36 interior points in the first 30 minutes.
Andre Hatchett added 12 points and Chris Hansen had 11 for the Bengals. But Idaho State, a 43.7 percent 3-point shooting team entering the game, hit just 2 of 13 attempts beyond the arc.
Washington pushed its lead to 13 early in the second half but failed to shake the Bengals. Idaho State lingered with the deficit around eight or 10 points and Washington failed to get defensive stops that could have finally given them a comfortable lead. Idaho State got a dunk from Hatchett off an inbound pass, a pair of free throws from Hansen and two free throws from Hatchett, to trim the Huskies lead to 70-64 with 7:59 left.
