Charles Garcia finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds for his 11th double-double of the season, and Seattle coasted past Portland State 93-80 on Tuesday night.

Cervante Burrell added 18 points, Chris Gweth had 13 and Alex Jones 10 for the Redhawks (16-14) in their home finale.

Dominic Waters, the leading scorer for the Vikings (12-18), left the game after playing just nine minutes due to a bruised heel. He is listed as day to day. Portland State plays at Montana State Saturday in the first-round of the Big Sky Conference tournament.

The Vikings opened the second half with 13-4 run to trim a 56-39 halftime deficit to single digits. Garcia later scored six straight points, including an emphatic slam off an alley-oop pass from Burrell, to push Seattle's lead to 82-62.
