Parker Friedrichsen, Ryan Beasley Help Washington Turn Back Mississippi Valley State 77-64
Washington hit 17 3-pointers and pulled away after halftime to improve to 2-0.
On Monday night, the University of Washington Huskies defeated the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils 77-64, moving to 2-0 behind a record-tying perimeter shooting performance in Seattle.
Mississippi Valley State fell to 0-2 following an 84-57 loss at Oklahoma last Friday, carrying a long-running statistical record as one of the nation's least successful programs.
Washington tied a school record by hitting 17 of 50 three-pointers, with reserve guard Parker Friedrichsen leading the team with 17 points on 5-for-11 shooting from beyond the arc.
Using a 13-0 second-half run capped by Ryan Beasley's consecutive three-pointers, the Huskies pulled away while dominating the boards 46-25 against the Delta Devils.
Mississippi Valley State travels to face Oregon on Wednesday, while Washington prepares for a Saturday road game against the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.
