Brian Conklin scored 25 points as Saint Louis remained unbeaten with a convincing 77-64 win over Washington and former Billikens head coach Lorenzo Romar.
The Billikens (3-0) put the game away in the first half, outscoring the Huskies by a 19-4 margin over a span of nine and a half minutes to seize a 35-15 advantage. Saint Louis stretched its lead to as many as 29 points early in the second half before Washington (3-1) used a late flurry to get as close as 13 in the final minutes.
Conklin shot 9-for-15 from the floor and 7-of-8 from the foul line to lead a Saint Louis offense that scored almost at will to build a 50-25 halftime cushion. The Billikens shot 60 percent (18-for-30) in the opening 20 minutes, making eight of 12 3-point shots, and finished the game with just seven turnovers.
Kwamain Mitchell finished with 18 points for Saint Louis. Terrence Ross paced the Huskies with 17 points and 10 rebounds, while Tony Wroten added 14 points.
