SEATTLE (AP) --- Hannes Steinbach scored 26 points on 12-of-17 shooting and
Zoom Diallo scored 17 points and Washington beat Minnesota 69-57 on Saturday
night and ended its three-game losing streak.
Despite just 4-of-13 (31%) shooting from 3-point range by Washington (13-13,
5-10 Big Ten), the Huskies found success overall shooting 29 of 46 (63%).
Inside the arc Washington was 25 of 33 (76%).
Steinbach just missed his 17th double-double of the season, grabbing nine
rebounds. He entered the game as the nation's fourth-leading rebounder at 11.4
boards per game.
Cade Tyson scored 22 points, Bobby Durkin scored 13 points and Isaac Asuma 11
for Minnesota (11-14, 4-10 Big Ten).
Washington went on a 14-0 run in the last 3:57 of the first half turning a
one-point deficit into a 39-26 lead.
To start the run, Courtland Muldrew's step-back basket put Washington up 27-26.
Steinbach followed with a layup before a Franck Kepnang jumper made it 31-26.
Washington went on to maintain the double-digit lead for all the second half
