Forward Kyle Wiltjer scored 24 points and grabbed 11 rebounds Wednesday as 10th-ranked Gonzaga stopped in-state rival Washington 80-64 in a quarterfinal game of the Battle 4 Atlantis in the Bahamas.
Center Domantas Sabonis came off the bench to add 17 points, while starting center Przemek Karnowski contributed 12. The Bulldogs (3-0) made 50 percent of their field-goal attempts and marched to the foul line 44 times, hitting 30.
Guard Andrew Andrews scored 21 points and hauled in 11 rebounds for the Huskies (3-1), but made only 4-of-17 field-goal attempts. Guard Dejounte Murray also tallied 21 points and added 11 rebounds before fouling out.
Fouls were the main storyline of this matchup between Washington state schools playing more than 3,000 miles from home. The officials whistled 60 fouls and administered a total of 74 free throws, with four players --- three from Washington -- fouling out.
Gonzaga took command before the halfway point of the first half, establishing a 29-13 lead at the 9:56 mark when Wiltjer sank a free throw after a technical foul was called on the Huskies' bench. The lead reached as high as 24 points in the second half and never dipped below 11.
The Bulldogs meet either Texas or Texas A&M in a Thursday night semifinal.
