The Cougars trailed by 15 at halftime but opened the second half with eight straight points to pull within 45-38.

Junior guard Viont'e Daniels connected on a jumper to bring Washington State within 49-44 with 16:11 remaining before the Huskies rattled off the next 12 points. Thybulle scored eight points during the burst and Dickerson finished it off with a dunk to make it 61-44 with 10:02 left.

Washington pushed its lead above 20 when Carter made two free throws for a 70-49 lead with 6:36 to play.

The lead topped out at 24 on a 3-pointer by junior guard David Crisp with 4:47 remaining.

Washington State led 28-27 after a 3-pointer by Daniels with 5:04 left in the first half but wouldn't lead again as the Huskies erupted with an 18-0 surge.

Thybulle drained a 3-pointer to give Washington a six-point lead and junior forward Dominic Green knocked down three consecutive 3-pointers to make it 43-28. Thybulle finished the run with a dunk for a 17-point edge with 51 seconds left.
