Venoy Overton showed up late for Washington. Twice in one day.
Benched for the first time this season for being 30 minutes late to the morning shoot-around because of a marathon around the arena, Overton made two free throws with 14.5 seconds left. The renowned defensive pest then leaped to block a potential tying 3-pointer by Montana's taller Anthony Johnson with 6 seconds remaining, allowing the No. 14 Huskies to escape with a 63-59 victory over the gritty Grizzlies Sunday night.
"I didn't know he was that big," marveled the 6-foot-1 Johnson, who like Overton is from Tacoma, Wash., but does not know Overton, who is generously listed at 5-11. "I didn't think he had that much vertical."
