In the second half, UW used an 18-5 run to pull away from the Phoenix after a response in the first exhibition meeting of the two teams.

UW Head Coach Greg Gard:
"We've got a deep team, and I think that's the strength of this team is, is the team."
Owen Foxwell
"I'm really just out there trying to do the best thing for the group. If that's me finding guys or if that's me being downhill and getting to the free throw line or scoring, then I'll do whatever I need to do."
