Arizona Wildcats Basketball
Washington State, the surprise team in the Pac-12 this season, needed to play a perfect game at McKale Center tonight to beat the 4th-ranked Arizona Wildcats.
And that's precisely what they did.
The Cougars are currently ranked No. 21 in the country but played more like a No. 1 seed for 40 minutes as they knocked off the Wildcats 77-74, handing Arizona its first loss at McKale this season, and with the win take over sole possession of first place in the Pac-12 Conference.
Arizona falls to 20-6 overall and 11-4 in the Pac-12, while Washington State leaves McKale tonight on the top of the world, so to speak, with a 21-6 overall record and a 12-4 slate in the conference.
Caleb Love led Arizona with 27 points, but WSU had the equalizer with Jaylan Wells, who also scored 27 points, including the dagger -- a 4-point play with less than one minute to go in the game.
Oumar Ballo finished the night with another double-double. The 7-0 Wildcats center scored 16 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. Keshad Johnson finished in double figures with 12 points.
