Garcia finished with 28 points on 9 of 12 shooting, 2 of 3 3-pointers and 8 of 12 free throws. Femi Odukale had 10 points for Minnesota (11-11, 3-8).

A 9-0 run capped by a jumper and a 3-pointer from Harris gave the Huskies a 31-23 lead with six minutes left in the first half. After the Golden Gophers closed to within four points, Washington closed out the half with 3-pointers from Harris and Mason to lead 40-30 at the break.
