College basketball: Pondexter leads No. 14 Huskies past Portland St.
SEATTLE — Quincy Pondexter scored 20 of his career-high 29 in the first half, and No. 14 Washington overwhelmed Portland State 111-55 on Sunday night.
The Vikings had no answer in trying to slow down the Huskies lone senior. Whether it was following up missed shots, finding open space without the ball or taking it himself off the dribble, Pondexter put in perhaps one of the most efficient performances in Washington history.
He made 11 of 12 shots, missing only a tip-in that he immediately followed up for a basket. He made his first seven free throws before clanking his final attempt off the back of the rim to leave him at 29 points. He matched his career high with 13 rebounds and checked out with 11 minutes remaining.
Isaiah Thomas added 21 for Washington (3-0) who swept the three-day, round-robin Athletes in Action Classic.
