Washington routs Stanford 91-68 to open Pac-12 tournament

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Dejounte Murray scored 25 points, Marquese Chriss had 18 and 10 rebounds, and Washington routed Stanford 91-68 Wednesday in the opening game of the Pac-12 tournament.

Washington continued to pour it on after that opening burst, shooting 50 percent to earn a spot in Thursday's second round against top-seeded Oregon.

Stanford (15-15) stumbled through the regular season and fell flat in its lone postseason game, potentially putting coach Johnny Dawkins' job in jeopardy.

Stanford had three of its first five shots blocked and had five free throws until Michael Humphrey hit a layup for the Cardinal's first field goal 8:43 into the game.

The Cardinal went 7 for 24 from the field, missing all six of their 3-point attempts, and had 11 turnovers that led to 15 points for the Huskies.
