Felder scores 38 as Oakland beats Washington 97-83

SEATTLE (AP) — Kay Felder scored a career-high 38 points, Martez Walker added 18 and Oakland used a huge first half offensively to run away from Washington 97-83 on Saturday.

The Golden Grizzlies (7-3) picked up its first road win over a power conference opponent since winning at Tennessee in December 2010, thanks largely to the performance of Felder who came in as the nation’s fifth-leading scorer at 24.6 per game. Felder had 25 points in the first half, scoring Oakland’s final 14 point, and the Golden Grizzlies shot nearly 54 percent taking a 55-35 lead at the break.

That advantage proved enough as Washington (7-3) could never get closer than 10 in the second half and had its four-game win streak snapped. Matisse Thybulle and Dejounte Murray led the Huskies with 16.
