Jamaal Williams scored a career-high 26 points and Brandon Roy added 25 as No. 11 Washington cruised to a 91-74 victory over Eastern Washington on Friday night at Seattle.

The Huskies extended the nation’s longest home-court winning streak to 30 games. Until Eastern Washington trimmed the lead in the final two minutes, the game was on par with Washington’s national-best 26.5-point scoring margin.

Freshman Jon Brockman had 16 points and 10 rebounds for the Huskies (9-0), who were unranked to begin the season but are now off to their best start since 1976, when they began 14-0.

And they still have five more games at home before playing their first game on an opponent’s campus Jan. 12 at USC.

Rodney Stuckey scored 17 points for Eastern Washington (4-4).

Stuckey was the national freshman leader in scoring with an average of 20.3 points a game. That was on 49% shooting through seven games. But he made only six of 20 shots against the Huskies.

No. 12 Michigan State 83, Cleveland State 75 -- Shannon Brown scored a career-high 27 points and the Spartans rallied to defeat the Vikings at East Lansing, Mich.

Paul Davis added 24 points, and Maurice Ager had 22 for Michigan State (8-2), which trailed, 46-35, late in the first half.

The balanced Vikings (2-5) made a school-record 14 three-point baskets, including 10 in the first half, and looked nothing like the team that lost by 57 points at North Carolina in November.
