RENO, Nev. (AP) — Kobe Sanders scored 20 points, Nick Davidson added 14 and nine rebounds and Nevada pulled away late Saturday night to beat Washington 63-53.

Sanders dunked — just Nevada’s second field goal in 7 1/2 minutes — to spark an 8-0 run that culminated when Brandon Love stole a pass near midcourt and went the other way for a fast-break and gave Nevada the lead for good at 50-44 with 5:59 to play.

Tre Coleman scored 10 points for Nevada (2-0).

Tyree Ihenacho led Washington (1-0) with 15 points on 7-of-10 shooting. The rest of the Huskies made just 12 of 46 (26%) from the field.

Luis Kortright scored in the lane to cut Washington’s deficit to 53-50 with 3:57 to play, but the Huskies missed seven straight shots as Nevada rattled off 10 straight points before Tyler Harris finished with 10 points , hit a 3-pointer to tie the score with 12 seconds left.

Washington shot 33.9 percent (19 of 56) overall, 7 of 22 (32 percent) from 3-point range and shot 62 percent (8 of 13) from the free throw line.
