Williams leads Arizona

Arizona forward Marcus Williams shrugged off his contribution after scoring 27 points in the 10th-ranked Wildcats’ 83-72 victory over Oregon State on Thursday night.

“I was able to get in the right spot at the right time, and my teammates were able to find me,” Williams said. “I was able to knock some shots down that I’m supposed to knock down.”

And the Wildcats (13-2, 4-1 Pac-10) won a game they were supposed to win, handing the Beavers (8-9, 0-4) their fourth loss in a row.

Oregon State has lost 25 consecutive games in Tucson. The Beavers’ last win at McKale Center was in 1983.

No. 15 Oregon 60, Arizona State 55 -- Aaron Brooks made two game-clinching free throws with 3.6 seconds to play at Tempe, Ariz. The Ducks (15-1, 3-1) led by as many as 15 points in the second half before the Sun Devils (6-10, 0-5) rallied to cut it to three.

No. 22 Washington State 73, California 56 -- The Cougars (15-2, 4-1) won playing as a ranked team for the first time in nearly 24 years, beating the Golden Bears (10-6, 2-2).

They hadn’t won in Berkeley since a 55-50 victory on Jan. 4, 2004.

Stanford 78, Washington 77 -- Anthony Goods made two free throws with 27.5 seconds to play, lifting the Cardinal (10-4, 2-2) to its 14th consecutive home victory over the Huskies (11-5, 1-4), who haven’t won at Maples Pavilion since 1993. The Cardinal trailed for most of the second half.
