Arizona knocks off Huskies, 91-75

 Arizona Wildcats Basketball


Arizona shook off a sluggish second half and disposed of the Washington Huskies 91-75 at McKale today to improve to 12-4 in Pac-12 play and 21-6 overall. The 4th-ranked Wildcats jumped out to a 52-35 halftime lead but were not hitting on all cylinders the final 20 minutes.

Caleb Love led Arizona with 28 points, and Oumar Ballo picked up his seventh consecutive double-double with 14 points and 14 rebounds. Pelle Larsson chipped in 17 points and a team-high seven assists, while Keshad Johnson finished with 16.

Arizona shot 47.1 percent from the field (33 of 70) and limited the Huskies to 37.7 percent (29 of 77). The Wildcats outrebounded Washington 56-39.

Next up: The Wildcats head for Tempe on Wednesday for an 8 p.m. showdown with ASU and return home on Saturday, March 2,  for their final regular-season home game and 12 p.m. tip-off with Oregon.
