SEATTLE — Tyler Harris scored 18 points, Great Osobor added 16 points and nine rebounds and Washington blew a 14-point second-half lead before beating Northwestern 76-71 on Saturday night to snap a four-game home losing streak.
DJ Davis scored 15 points and Zoom Diallo 10 for Washington (12-11, 3-9 Big Ten).
Nick Martinelli scored seven consecutive points to make it 66-62 with 3 minutes, 41 seconds remaining and give Northwestern its first lead since the opening minutes. Osobor converted a three-point play to give the Huskies the lead for good, and Davis followed with a 3 to make it 71-66 with 1:19 to go.
Martinelli led Northwestern (13-11, 4-9) with 23 points and 10 rebounds. Ty Berry added 14 points and Justin Mullins 13. The Wildcats have lost eight of their last 11 games.
Diallo hit a jumper to make it 49-34 early in the second half, but Mullins hit a 3-pointer 17 seconds later that sparked an 11-0 run, and Jordan Clayton capped a 9-2 spurt with a 3 that made it 55-55 with 7:48 to play.
Mullins hit a 3-pointer that gave the Wildcats a 6-2 lead about two minutes into the game but they went scoreless over the next six-plus minutes, going 0-for-7 from the field with three turnovers as Washington scored 10 consecutive points.
Davis hit a 3-pointer with 7:59 left in the first half to spark an 18-6 run that made it 34-22 with 3:03 to until halftime.
Fifth-year guard Luis Kortright was suspended indefinitely earlier Saturday for not meeting program standards. The fifth-year Rhode Island transfer, averaging 4.9 points this season, is just eight points away from 1,000 in his career.
Northwestern plays Tuesday at Oregon. Washington plays Wednesday at Ohio State.
