Washington 73, Tulane 62: C.J. Wilcox led four players in double figures with 15 points as the visiting Huskies held on to knock off the Green Wave.

Jonathan Stark scored 17 of his 25 points in the first half to pace Tulane (5-6). Louis Dabney added 16 points but missed all five of his long-range attempts as the Green Wave finished 1-for-14 from 3-point distance.

The Huskies led by as many as 12 points in the first half and settled for a 41-32 lead at the break when Wilcox buried a buzzer-beater from halfcourt. Stark opened the scoring in the second half with a three-point play 11 seconds in and Dabney's three-point play with 12:40 to go got the hosts within 50-47.

Washington would not record another field goal after Williams-Goss made a layup to make it 62-55 with 7:51 to go, but hit 11 free throws and buckled down on defense to keep the Green Wave at bay. Tulane was 2-for-11 from the floor over the final seven-plus minutes and never got closer than seven points down the stretch.
