SEATTLE (AP) William Powell had 11 points and eight rebounds, and Isiah Umipig scored 11 more on Saturday night to help Seattle cruise to a 57-31 win over Chicago State, which has lost 12 of its last 13 games.

Seattle (13-13, 6-6 Western Athletic Conference) scored the first eight points and never trailed, taking a 25-11 lead into halftime.

Chicago State's Montana Byrd hit a 3 with 5:55 left in the first half and the Cougars (6-22, 2-9) went scoreless for the next 16 minutes, seven seconds. A 3-pointer by Trayvon Palmer ended the drought more than 10 minutes into the second half. Chicago State missed 18 field goals, including eight 3-point attempts, and two free throws while committing nine turnovers during that stretch.

Jadon Cohee's free throw with 5:06 to play gave Seattle its biggest lead, 51-19.

Clarke Rosenberg led the Cougars, who shot 20.8 percent from the field, with eight points.
