SEATTLE (AP) -- Zoom Diallo scored a career-high 26 points, Hannes Steinbach added 22 with a career-best 24 rebounds, and Washington rolled past Southern California 91-72 on Wednesday night at Alaska Airlines Arena.

Washington took the lead for good with 12:31 remaining. A 13-0 run that started with 4:33 to play pushed the Huskies' lead to 85-65 with about two minutes left. Diallo scored on a dunk and Nikola Dzepina added a 3 to end the surge.

The Huskies (15-15, 7-12 Big Ten) swept the season series against USC, and have won three of their last five. The Trojans (18-12, 7-12) have lost six straight and 11 of their last 17 games.

Steinbach became just the second Husky with 20 points and 20 rebounds in a game, joining Noah Dickerson. The freshman's 24 rebounds are the most since 1977. He was 9-of-12 shooting against the Trojans.

His 19 double-doubles are the most by a Big Ten freshman in the last 30 years.
