SEATTLE (AP) — Isaiah Stewart dominated on the interior and scored 16 points, Quade Green added 11 points on 5-for-5 shooting, and No. 25 Washington rebounded from its first loss of the season with a 72-53 win over Maine. The Huskies were handed their first setback over the weekend in a 75-62 loss to No. 20 Tennessee on a neutral court in Toronto, but began a stretch of three games in six days with a convincing victory where Washington finally found a rhythm at the offensive end.
UNDATED (AP) — Sixth-ranked Oregon has wrapped up the Pac-12 North, but the South could go down to the wire.

USC could also sneak into the conference championship as the regular season winds to a close.
