MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Tyler Harris scored 23 points, Great Osobor added 16 points and 10 rebounds, and Washington held off a second-half rally to defeat Minnesota 71-68 on Saturday.
The win was only the second victory over a power conference team this season for the Huskies (11-10, 2-8 Big Ten) and it snapped a six-game losing streak.
Dawson Garcia, who scored 23 points after halftime, was the only player to make a basket for the Golden Gophers in one eight-minute stretch of the second half in which he scored 16 points. He made one free throw to tie the score at 64 with 2:44 remaining.
