Huskies rout OSU

Associated Press The Spokesman-Review

Ryan Appleby had a career-high 32 points for Washington, including nine 3-pointers, as the Huskies beat Oregon State 97-59 Saturday in Corvallis, Ore., and handed the Beavers their 15th straight loss, the longest losing streak in the men’s basketball program’s history.

Justin Dentmon had 17 points and Jon Brockman added 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Huskies, who jumped out to a huge lead and never looked back for their second win in three games. They shot 54 percent.

Lathen Wallace had 16 points and Omari Johnson had 11 for Oregon State, which suffered from the same dismal shooting (32.2 percent) that has torpedoed most of its games.

The Beavers, the worst shooting team in the conference, made just 7 of 28 shots in the first half, after a 6-for-27 effort in the first half against Washington State Thursday. Oregon State’s previous longest losing streak belonged to the 1995-96 team.

Washington had lost four in a row, before upsetting No. 5 UCLA last weekend. The Huskies lost 71-58 at Oregon on Thursday.

(7) Stanford 67, Arizona 66: At Tucson, Ariz., Brook Lopez had 23 points and 10 rebounds and his twin brother Robin added 14 points to lead the Cardinal over the Wildcats.

With the Lopez twins sealing off the boards, the Cardinal outrebounded Arizona 40-26.

The Cardinal withstood a 31-point outburst by Arizona’s Jerryd Bayless, who has scored at least 30 points in three straight games. In his previous two games, Bayless scored 39 against Arizona State and 33 against California.

California 76, Arizona State 73: At Tempe, Ariz., Ryan Anderson had 28 points and 11 rebounds, Patrick Christopher added 20 points and five boards and the Bears survived a Sun Devils’ rally in the final minute for a victory to end a two-game skid.

Ty Abbott added 30 points, including eight 3-pointers for California
