Marcus Williams scored 23 points and Ivan Radenovic had 22 as No. 7 Arizona rallied to defeat Stanford, 89-75, Saturday at Tucson for its 11th consecutive victory.

The Wildcats (11-1, 2-0), blew a 13-point first-half lead and fell behind by five midway through the second half. But they ended the Cardinal’s upset hopes by closing the game on a 19-6 run.

Arizona’s 11-game winning streak is its longest since 2001. That streak ended with a loss to Duke in the national championship game.
