They will stay at home for another game and welcome the Alcorn State Braves at 10:00 p.m. ET on Friday at Alaska Airlines Arena. The Braves took a loss in their last match and will be looking to turn the tables on the Huskies, who come in off a win.

The team also got some help courtesy of Tyree Ihenacho, who scored 12 points plus five rebounds.

Washington smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 27 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least ten offensive rebounds in four consecutive games.

Meanwhile, Alcorn State's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Tuesday after their sixth straight loss dating back to last season.

The Braves were surely aware of their disadvantage in the point spread, but the foreknowledge did nothing to prevent the result.
