The seventh-ranked Arizona Wildcats sizzle in Seattle.

Okay. So they let up on the gas pedal at times, still the Wildcats rolled to a 86-62 Pac-12 win over the Washington Huskies to pull back into a tie with Utah for the conference lead at 9-2 and 21-3 overall.

Five players scored in double figures for the Wildcats with Stanley Johnson leading the way with 20 points and eight rebounds. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson added 17 points and grabbed a team-high nine boards, while Gabe York came off the bench and tossed in 13 points.

T.J. McConnell dished out eight assists in the first half as the Wildcats led at intermission 43-24. The Arizona point guard finished with 10 points, 10 assists and five rebounds, while Brandon Ashley contributed 11 points. Kaleb Tarczewski chipped in eight points and Elliott Pitts finished with seven points to complete Arizona's scoring.

Arizona shot 52 percent from the field, canning 31 of 59 shots, while Washington was held to 35 percent from the field, hitting just 19 of 54 attempts.

It's on to Pullman on Sunday against the Washington State Cougars.
