Spokane, Wash. ? Gonzaga made an impressive bid Wednesday to return to the Top 25.

Adam Morrison scored a career-high 26 points, and Ronny Turiaf had 23 points and 13 rebounds as Gonzaga beat No. 14 Washington, 99-87, for its seventh straight victory over the Huskies.

The Bulldogs (4-1) bounced back after a loss Saturday to No. 5 Illinois that caused them to drop out of the AP Top 25 poll.

“I’m proud of how we came back from Saturday. That’s a sign of competitive souls and competitive hearts. They had me wondering about that Saturday,” Few said.

Nate Robinson led Washington (4-1) with 22 points, including four three-pointers.

The Huskies were without second-leading scorer Brandon Roy, who had surgery Tuesday to repair a torn knee ligament.

His absence allowed Morrison and Sean Mallon, who had 16 points, to score from the paint. Meanwhile, Derek Raivio had 21 points — including 5-of-6 from three-point range — with eight assists, four steals and no turnovers.

“You’ll be hard-pressed to find a guard with no turnovers against that pressure,” Few said.
