Arizona runs away from Washington State, 83-62

Arizona Wildcats Basketball


Arizona went on a 26-0 run early in the second half and rolled to a 83-62 win at McKale Center tonight. Nico Mannion led the Wildcats with 23 points, while Zeke Nnaji finished with 21 points as Arizona moved to 20-10 overall and 10-7 in Pac-12 play.

Josh Green returned from his back injury and scored 12 points, connecting on 4 of 7 from the field -- including two 3-pointers. Mannion hit 4 of 7 from beyond the arc as the Wildcats connected on 9 of 18 3-pointers.

Arizona needs a win over Washington on Saturday, while a UCLA win over USC will give the Wildcats a fourth-place finish in the regular season and a first-round bye in next week's Pac-12 Tournament in Las Vegas.
