After a last-second loss to UCLA and four-overtime defeat to USC last weekend, Arizona shot better than 50% in consecutive wins without star freshman Allonzo Trier (broken hand).

Anderson’s block led a 14-5 run as Arizona surpassed 80 points for the 10th straight game.

The Wildcats poured it on early in the second half, with Gabe York’s breakaway one-handed jam making it 56-33. Anderson delivered another dunk that brought the crowd to its feet on a night Arizona made nine of 16 three-pointers.

Washington 89, at Arizona State 85: Andrew Andrews, the Pac-12’s leading scorer, pumped in 30 points as the Huskies outlasted the Sun Devils. Andrews also had 12 assists and six rebounds and made six free throws in the closing seconds to secure the win.

Washington (12-5, 4-1) entered the game as the Pac-12’s worst shooting team (41.2%) and made 13 of its first 17 shots. Andrews had 18 points in the first half as the Huskies took a 44-34 lead.

Kodi Justice had 17 points to lead the Sun Devils (11-7, 1-4).
