FULLERTON, Calif. — Washington remained undefeated after a 78-56 rout of San Jose State in Thursday night’s first round of the Wooden Legacy men’s basketball tournament at Cal State Fullerton’s Titan Gym.

The Huskies (4-0) will face Long Beach State in Friday night’s second round at 8:30 p.m. The 49ers defeated Western Michigan on Thursday, 73-55.

UW built an 8-0 lead in the first four minutes, four seconds while keeping San Jose State (1-4) scoreless for the first 5:14. The Huskies dominated despite committing four fouls in the first 3:25 and four turnovers in the first five minutes.

After UW extended its advantage to 26-9, the Spartans (1-4) used a 9-0 surge to narrow their deficit to 26-18 with 4:51 left in the first half.

The Huskies responded with a 10-0 spree that gave them a 36-18 lead with 2:09 before halftime. Andrew Andrews and Nigel Williams-Goss led the run with four points apiece.

Then after San Jose State’s Jaleel Williams made an inside jumper, Shawn Kemp Jr. converted a layin and two free throws in a 32-second span to give the Huskies a 40-20 lead with 1:05 left in the half. They led 40-23 at halftime. The Spartans got no closer than 13 points after that.
