Klay Thompson added 23 points, nine assists and two steals for the Cougars (2-0), who jumped to a 17-2 lead and never trailed.

The Vandals closed the gap to 43-38 at halftime, and were behind 49-47 after Luiz Toledo's free throw with 16:10 left, but the Cougars went on a 17-0 run.

Jeff Ledbetter scored a team-high 18 points, while Toledo scored 13 for the Vandals (1-1).

Washington State was 34 for 59 from the field (57.6 percent).
