Steinbach, Yates Propel Washington To 105-69 Romp Over Southern Utah
December 13, 2025 | Men's Basketball
SEATTLE (AP) -- Hannes Steinbach and Wesley Yates III both had 14 points to lead six Huskies in double figures, and Washington breezed to a 105-69 victory over Southern Utah on Saturday inside Alaska Airlines Arena.
Steinbach made 7 of 9 shots for the Huskies (7-3), who improved to 4-1 at home. He added six rebounds. Yates made 4 of 9 from 3-point range.
Desmond Claude and Bryson Tucker each had 12 points for Washington. JJ Mandaquit hit three 3-pointers and scored 11, adding five assists. Zoom Diallo contributed 10 points, six rebounds and four assists.
Claude and reserves Mandaquit and Tucker all had eight points as Washington took a commanding 53-33 lead into halftime. Mandaquit hit two 3-pointers to cap a 10-0 run in the final 2:04, doubling the Huskies' lead.
The Thunderbirds did not attempt a free throw before the break, while Washington made 15 of 17 and finished the game 18 of 23.
Nikola Dzepina, who joined the Husky squad earlier this week, notched five points in his debut.
UW's 53 points in the first 20 minutes was the most in a first half since Nov. 17, 2016.
The Huskies' lead reached 30 on a layup by Steinbach with 7:42 left to play.
Washington had only two turnovers, the fewest in a game for UW since at least 1996-97.
The Huskies turned 11 Southern Utah miscues into 18 points and had a 21-2 advantage on fast-break points.
The last time Washington scored 100 came in a 100-99 double-overtime victory over Seattle University on Dec. 17, 2023. The Huskies scored 99 in a six-point double OT win over Southern University earlier this season.
Next up for the Huskies is a trip across town to Climate Pledge Arena to take on Seattle U on Friday, Dec. 19. Tipoff is set for 8:30 p.m. on ESPN2.
