Daven Harmeling scored a career-high 28 points to help Washington State defeat No. 7 Arizona, 77-73, in overtime Saturday night at Pullman, Wash.

Arizona (12-2, 3-1 Pacific 10 Conference) tied the score, 67-67, to force overtime but was outscored, 10-6, in the extra period to end its 12-game winning streak.

Washington State (14-2, 3-1) had not defeated such a highly ranked opponent at home since beating No. 6 UCLA in 1983. The Cougars have topped 13 wins for the first time since 1995-96.

No. 24 Washington 64, Arizona State 53 -- Ryan Appleby made six three-point baskets and finished with 20 points to lead the Huskies at Seattle.

Washington (11-4, 1-3), a preseason contender for the Pac-10 title, had been one of three teams without a conference victory. The Huskies lost their first three Pac-10 games to USC, UCLA and Arizona, getting outscored by 12.7 points a game.

Jeff Pendergraph scored 18 points for the Sun Devils (6-9, 0-4), who have lost five in a row.
