The Huskies (8-7, 3-2 Pac-12) gave up the game's first five points before going on first-half runs of 22-4 and 13-0 to build a 22-point advantage. Washington went into halftime leading by 18 points, and pushed the lead back to 21 points with 14:58 remaining in regulation on the strength of Terrell Brown Jr.'s shooting.

Brown, the Pac-12's leading scorer on the season, finished Saturday with 25 points. He scored the last of his game-high on a free throw with 15 seconds, which proved critical to preserving the win.

His foul shot put Washington ahead 66-63 after Stanford chipped the deficit down to just two points. The three-point advantage allowed the Huskies to intentionally foul on the Cardinal's subsequent possession, putting Harrison Ingram at the foul line rather than allow Stanford a look at a game-tying 3-point attempt.
