From the Associated Press

Brandon Roy scored 19 points and Ryan Appleby had 18, all on three-point shooting, leading No. 25 Washington to a 112-65 victory over Loyola Marymount on Friday at Seattle.

Washington (6-0) took advantage of 22 turnovers by the Lions and scored a school-record 65 first-half points on the way to its 28th straight home win at Bank of America Arena. The longest home winning streak in the nation will get a stern test in the Huskies’ next game, against eighth-ranked Gonzaga on Dec. 4.

Wes Wardrop scored 13 points to lead Loyola Marymount (1-2), which withered under Washington’s relentless, full-court defense. The press forced Loyola Marymount into a series of bad passes, lost dribbles and baffled looks -- and 28 turnovers in all.
