SEATTLE (AP) --- Jeremy Fears Jr. scored 19 points and No. 12 Michigan State
beat Washington 80-63 on Saturday for its fourth straight victory.
The Spartans (16-2, 6-1 Big Ten) won in their first game at Washington since
1957.
Fears was 6 of 9 from the field and made 7 of 8 free throws in his fourth
straight game with at least 15 points. He also had five assists.
Kur Teng added 11 points, hitting three 3-pointers.
Zoom Diallo led Washington (10-8, 2-5) with 18 points, and Hannes Steinbach had
17 points and nine rebounds. The Huskies have lost four of five, three of them
against teams ranked 12th or better.
Washington was without guard Desmond Claude. He announced Friday on social
media that he was "stepping away from all on-court activities" due to health
concerns stemming from a sprained ankle in fall workouts that forced him to
miss the first four games of the season. In 12 games (nine starts), he averaged
13.3 points.

Michigan State: At Oregon on Tuesday night
Washington: At No. 8 Nebraska on Wednesday night.
