AMHERST, Mass. -- Lou Roe, who saves his best games for his best opponents, dominated inside with 23 points and 10 rebounds as top-ranked Massachusetts routed No. 21 Pennsylvania 93-60 Saturday night.

The Minutemen (11-1) stretched a 49-28 halftime lead to 59-30 with a 10-2 run during which Roe had 4 points. The Quakers (8-2) trailed by margins ranging from 27 to 39 the rest of the way.

Penn, winner of its last 31 Ivy League games, may have been the toughest regular-season opponent left for the Minutemen. Their 15 remaining foes all are unranked and 13 are in the weak Atlantic 10.

Roe, coming off three straight sub-par performances, had scored 34 points against Arkansas and 33 against Kansas in Massachusetts' first two games. The 6-foot-7 forward reasserted himself under the basket Saturday, repeatedly overpowering defenders for layups and rebounds.

Mike Williams added 17 points for Massachusetts, Donta Bright added 16 and Marcus Camby 15. Penn was led by Matt Maloney with 10.

The victory stretched Massachusetts' on-campus winning streak to 38 games, second-longest in the nation behind Indiana's 50. The Minutemen won their 10th straight overall while ending Penn's winning streak at eight.
