SEATTLE – Casey Jacobsen had another brilliant outing, scoring 31 points as No. 12 Stanford beat Washington 91-65 on Thursday night.

Jacobsen, the Pac-10’s leading scorer, has topped the 40-point mark twice this month, getting 49 against Arizona State – one point off the school record – and 41 against Oregon two games later. He outshined Washington sophomore Doug Wrenn, the No. 2 scorer in the conference who had 24 points on 9-for-23 shooting.

Jacobsen was 4-for-8 from 3-point range and 9-for-10 from the free throw line and added three rebounds and two assists.

Wrenn, who had scored 30 or more points in four of his last five games, finished with 11 rebounds for his third double-double of the season. He was the only player in double figures for scoring and rebounds for Washington (8-16, 2-12), which has lost five straight and eight of nine.

This game was a far cry from Stanford’s 105-60 rout of Washington on Jan. 19 at Maples Pavilion, the Huskies’ third-worst defeat in school history.

The Huskies began the second half with an 8-3 spurt to pull within 45-41 with 16:05 left before Stanford responded with an 11-2 run. Washington never pulled within single digits again.

Curtis Borchardt, a 7-foot, 240-pound center who attended Redmond’s Eastlake High School, added 15 points and 16 rebounds for the Cardinal, but he was held without a field goal from four minutes into the game until about six minutes were left. Teyo Johnson, who spent some time at Mariner High School, scored nine points.

Washington is in ninth place in the Pac-10 and must move up a spot and pass Oregon State to qualify for the conference tournament. Coach Bob Bender’s job security is uncertain as the team has a chance for its third consecutive 20-loss season.

Borchardt and Jacobsen scored Stanford’s first 15 points and the Cardinal held the Huskies without a rebound until Wrenn pulled one down at 13:17. Stanford got many second and third opportunities on offense and took an 11-0 lead on the boards. The Cardinal finished with a 48-32 rebounding advantage and had outrebounded the Huskies 19-2 midway through the first half. Stanford led 42-33 at halftime after Washington finished the half with an 11-6 run.

Huskies’ all-century team: Detlef Schrempf, who played 16 seasons in the NBA, heads a list of 11 players named to University of Washington’s all-century men’s basketball team. The players will be honored at halftime in Saturday’s game between the Huskies and California here. Also chosen for the Washington all-century team in voting by Huskies fans were Todd MacCulloch, Bob Houbregs, Bruno Boin, Chester Dorsey, James Edwards, Steve Hawes, George Irvine, Jack Nichols, Eldridge Recasner and Christian Welp.
