Markelle Fultz doesn’t break 30-point barrier, but Huskies still blow out Northern Arizona

Markelle Fultz is human after all.

The Huskies’ fabulous freshman, who scored 30 and 35 points respectively to launch his college career, came up short of hitting the 30-point mark on Sunday against Northern Arizona.

Fultz nearly recorded a triple-double while leading the Washington men’s basketball team to its first blowout this season — a 92-58 victory over Northern Arizona on Sunday at Alaska Airlines Arena.

Fultz finished with a team-high 16 points on 6-for-9 shooting, including 2 of 4 on three-pointers. He also had seven rebounds and eight assists in 30 minutes.

For the Huskies, which improved to 2-1, this was game in which they could flex their defensive muscles against an outclassed opponent.
