SEATTLE (AP) – Parker Friedrichsen scored 17 points off the bench and Ryan Beasley posted his first career double-double to guide Washington to a 77-64 victory over Mississippi Valley State on Monday night.
Â
The Huskies lived behind the arc all game long, coming one shy of the Big Ten record with 50 attempts from downtown, tying the school record with 17 three-point makes.
Â
Washington also dominated the paint down low, owning a 46-25 rebounding advantage, including 16-6 in offensive boards.
Â
Friedrichsen sank 6-of-14 shots, including 5-of-11 from three-point range, Beasley totaled 16 points, 10 rebounds and six assists — making 6-of-11 shots with four three-pointers.
Â
Steele Venters added 15 on 5-for-13 shooting from beyond the arc for Washington, and LeJuan Watts had 10 rebounds and five assists to go with seven points.
Â
Washington trailed by five when Venters and Friedrichsen each hit a three-pointer in a 9-0 run to put the Huskies ahead 12-8.
Â
Wesley Yates III hit from beyond the arc to up Washington's lead to 10 with 10:25 remaining in the first half and the advantage was still 10 at halftime — 43-33.
Â
AJ Abrams sank a 3-pointer and Gabriel Martinez followed with a layup as Mississippi Valley State cut the deficit in half in the first 37 seconds after the break.
Â
Tymias Williams made two free throws to get the Delta Devils within four, but Beasley buried two 3-pointers and scored eight in a 13-0 run and the Huskies led 57-40 with 13 minutes remaining.
Â
Anglo's three-point play cut it to 57-48 with 9:28 left, but the Delta Devils would get no closer.
Â
With two wins in tow, the Huskies hit the road for the first time on Saturday, facing Utah in Salt Lake City at 4:00 p.m. PT. Saturday's showdown will be available for streaming through ESPN+.
