STANFORD, Calif. – The 25th-ranked Huskies bounced back from a disappointing defeat in their last outing and claimed a 62-61 victory at Stanford on Sunday afternoon.
Foul trouble limited Jaylen Nowell’s minutes, but the Washington guard finished with 13 points and put the Huskies ahead for good with a mid-range jumper along the baseline at the 1:26 mark.
At the other end, Matisse Thybulle collected his third steal before Nowell padded UW’s lead with another jumper.
However, Stanford didn’t go away quietly.
The Cardinal pulled within a point following Oscar da Silva’s putback with 15 seconds left.
