SDSU MBB…Washington coaches tried to warn their players about their lack of energy, and South Dakota State guard Nate Wolters. They didn't get the message.
Wolters scored 34 points as South Dakota State broke Washington's 32-game nonconference home winning streak with a 92-73 victory Sunday. He also played all 40 minutes and added seven assists and five rebounds to his 34 points. He did not commit a turnover. Wolters says it was quite a turnaround from Tuesday’s loss at North Dakota.
Griffan Callahan added 16 points and Chad White scored 12 for the Jackrabbits (10-4), who shot 55 percent from the field. Head coach Scott Nagy says the effort was more like the Jacks.
Tony Wroten led Washington with 23 points. Darnell Gant added 15 and C.J. Wilcox scored 12 points for the Huskies (5-5).
Nagy says beating a Pac-12 team brings notariety to the program, but says every win’s big.
The Jacks are off until after Christmas, when they resume the Summit League schedule.
