Washington Huskies at Rutgers Scarlet Knights
· NCAA Men's Basketball
Steinbach's 24-point, 16-rebound night leads Washington over Rutgers 79-72
Steinbach picked up his 17th double-double of the year, placing the 6-foot-11 German in a tie for second place in Division I. He was 9-of-13 shooting and 6 of 7 from the foul line.
The Huskies (14-14, 6-11 Big Ten) took the lead for good off a pair of Yates free throws 2:58 into the game, and a 10-0 run before the midpoint of the first half put them up by double-figures. They led 36-29 at the half after a 7-0 Rutgers run to close the frame.
The lead stretched to as many as 18 points, but the Scarlet Knights got it back to single-digits with a late 9-0 run. Lino Mark led with 18 points for Rutgers (11-17, 4-13), and Darren Buchanan Jr. added 17.
Washington shot 50% as a team and 37% from beyond the arc, and held Rutgers to 40% and 21% respectively. The Huskies collected 15 assists on 28-made baskets.
It was the Huskies first-ever win at Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights won 89-85 in overtime in their only previous meeting on Feb. 19, 2025.
