SEATTLE (AP)- Washington's Doug Wrenn scored 23 points as the Huskies snapped a six-game losing streak with an 81-68 victory over the Arizona State Sun Devils Thursday night.
Wrenn missed his first shot of the game, but ended up hitting 9-of-14 from the floor. Over the last two games, Wrenn has scored 52 points.
Washington (7-8, 1-4 Pacific-10) used 60 percent shooting to make up for 25 turnovers.
Chad Prewitt's 3-pointer with 2:50 remaining in the game pulled the Sun Devils to within four points, at 69-65, but they couldn't get any closer. The 13-point margin at the end was Washington's biggest lead.
