The other two WAC contests

San Jose State played Washington tough but it was too much 'QP' in the end:

Another ex-Husky returns home. And Quincy Pondexter sets another career scoring high in a Washington victory.

On Sunday, Portland State Vikings absorbed a 56-point defeat during Phil Nelson's Huskies homecoming.

Friday night, Adrian Oliver, who transferred to San Jose State in 2007, looked comfortable inside his old digs. However, the Huskies overwhelmed the Spartans' front line in an 80-70 victory in front of 8,155 at Edmundson Pavilion.

Pondexter, who topped the personal scoring best he set Sunday, finished with 30 points and 15 rebounds, both career highs...

"It was a situation where we were a little flat tonight for some reason," Hawai'i head coach Bob Nash said. "I can't put my finger on it. Going into the game, I never would have expected us to be out-hustled and I think we just got out-hustled tonight..."
