Stanford ends 4th-ranked Wildcats' winning streak at 7 games

Arizona Wildcats Basketball



The 4th-ranked Arizona Wildcats found themselves in foul trouble tonight in Palo Alto, California, and their seven-game winning streak ended as Stanford prevailed 88-79.

Azoulas Tubelis picked up his fourth foul with seven minutes left in the game, and the Cardinal built an 11-point lead and never looked back. Courtney Ramey did all he could, hitting 8 of 16 3-pointers; he couldn't muster a long-range shot down the stretch and finished with a career-high, game-high 26 points, six rebounds, and five assists.

Arizona led 44-41 at the half, shot 45.9 percent from the field (28 of 61), and combined for 14 long-range bombs, but it wasn't enough to get the job done.

Tubelis had a tough night finishing with four points and four fouls. Oumar Ball, Arizona's other big man,  finished with eight points and four rebounds.

Cedric Henderson Jr. and Pelle Larsson scored a dozen each, and Kerr Kriisa, who once again struggled from long range, ended up with 10 points.

Arizona falls to 22-4 overall and 11-4 in the Pac-12 Conference race. 

The Wildcats head home after a split on the road in California.
