SEATTLE (AP)-- Jon Brockman had 13 points and 11 rebounds for his 49th career double-double to lead the Washington Huskies to a 75-53 victory over Montana Sunday for their sixth straight win.
Brockman, the team's leading scorer and rebounder, had his usual steady performance despite being limited by a heavy bandage on his nonshooting left hand. He needed three stitches after cutting his thumb opening a Christmas present.
Isaiah Thomas also scored 13 points for Washington (8-3), which played for the first time in eight days. Venoy Overton scored a season-high 10 points while Matthew Bryan-Amaning also added 10 for the Huskies.
Montana (6-7) was led by Anthony Johnson and Ryan Staudacher, who had 11 points each. The Grizzlies lost their third game in a row.
The Huskies, using a 23-0 run in the first half, held a 41-21 lead at halftime. During the first three minutes of the second half, the Grizzlies cut their deficit to 43-28 before Washington coach Lorenzo Romar called a timeout.
Coming out of the timeout, Thomas, who held to two points in the first half, got the Huskies back on track by sinking a 3-pointer with 16:02 left. He followed that with a sweeping left-handed bank shot to give the Huskies a 48-28 advantage at 15:10.
In the final 15 minutes, Montana could not work its deficit under 20 points.
The Huskies' 23-0 run began with a steal by Quincy Pondexter, who flicked a tip-pass to Overton. The sophomore guard then ran the floor and finished with a dunk.
Overton had two more fastbreak dunks in the first half, scoring his 10 points.
During the 23-0 run, Bryan-Amaning had all eight of his first-half points.
The Grizzlies went 9:36 without scoring. Jordan Hasquet ended their futility with a putback basket with 6:43 left in the opening half.
The Grizzlies shot poorly, 27.9 percent from the field on 17-for-61 and 11-of-26 from the free-throw line.
