 SEATTLE (AP) - Whether he was in a dead sprint on the wing, or curling off a screen, Ryan Appleby's four minute display of flawless 3-point shooting was the catalyst Washington needed to break its recent slide. Appleby hit five 3-pointers, en route to 22 points, and Washington snapped a four-game losing streak with an 85-70 win over No. 23 Southern California on Thursday night.
Washington's only NCAA tournament hopes lie with next week's Pac-10 Conference tournament. A sweep of four games and the tournament title is the Huskies (17-12, 7-10 Pac-10) only realistic NCAA chance.
Needing to regain some lost confidence, the Huskies took a positive step against the Trojans.
