Vladislav Goldin scored 19 points on 6-of-7 shooting from the field to lead a balanced attack as No. 24 Michigan defeated short-handed Washington 91-75 Sunday afternoon in Big Ten Conference play in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Nimari Burnett made all six of his field-goal attempts, including four 3-pointers, to score 16 for the Wolverines (13-3 overall, 5-0 Big Ten), who won their fifth in a row and improved to 8-0 at home.

Roddy Gayle Jr. scored 15 points, Sam Walters 12 and Danny Wolf had 11 points and a team-high eight rebounds. Tre Donaldson had a solid all-around game with six points, a game-high six assists, five rebounds and zero turnovers.

Great Osobor led the Huskies (10-7, 1-5), losers of three straight, with a game-high 23 points and 11 rebounds while sharing team-high honors with four assists. Starter Zoom Diallo and reserve Mekhi Mason scored 13 apiece.

The Wolverines shot 52.7 percent from the field (29 of 55), including 11 of 29 (37.9 percent) on 3-pointers. The Huskies connected on 41.3 percent of their field-goal attempts (26 of 63) and were 9 of 21 (42.9 percent) from beyond the arc.

Despite 7-footers Goldin and Wolf battling foul trouble into the first half, the Wolverines took a 48-38 advantage at the intermission as Burnett scored 13 points.

The Huskies never got closer than eight in the second half. The Wolverines finally pulled away midway through the half and extended their lead to 85-66 with 4:24 left.

Trailing 5-4, Michigan used a 7-0 run — capped by Goldin’s 3-pointer off a turnover — to pull ahead and was never caught.

The Huskies got within 41-36 on a second-chance layup by Diallo with 2:15 in the half before Goldin’s alley-oop dunk off a pass from Donaldson sent the fans at Crisler Arena into a frenzy. That sparked a 7-2 run to end the half and extended the lead to 10, Michigan’s biggest before the intermission.

The Huskies played without DJ Davis (ankle) and Jase Butler (concussion). Davis scored 31 points last weekend against Illinois.
