SEATTLE (AP)--Quincy Pondexter scored 27 points as Washington rediscovered its winning ways in the Pac-10 with its largest victory ever over Stanford, 94-61 on Thursday night.
Pondexter scored 14 points in the first 6 1/2 minutes of the second half for the Huskies (11-5, 2-3 Pac-10).
The lead reached 41 points for Washington, which had lost consecutive Pac-10 games by double-digit margins to Oregon, Arizona State and Arizona, and came in looking nothing like the defending conference champion.
Landry Fields scored 17 points for Stanford (8-8, 2-2), which had won two straight.
Jeremy Green was 3 for 10 from the field and had just seven points after scoring a career-high 30 Saturday against UCLA.

Drew Shiller's three-pointer with 9:39 remaining in the game turned out to be Stanford's only triple of the night in seven attempts.

For just the second time this season, the Cardinal did not produce a 20-point scorer ... Washington attempted 76 shots compared to Stanford's 46 ... Stanford suffered its worst loss since a 97-63 setback at UCLA on Jan. 31, 2009 ... The Cardinal committed at least 20 turnovers in a game for the first time since Mar. 15, 2007, when Louisville forced 21 miscues in the first round of the NCAA Tournament ...
