Did you stay up for the late-night thriller?
On a night when the offensive went into a funk, the Wildcats had to rely on their defense to keep it going.
Arizona rallied behind its defense, triggering a 15-0 run in the first half and another stretch of 13 straight points after missing its first 10 shots of the second. The Wildcats went up 68-61 with 53 seconds left and held off the Huskies to stretch the nation's third-longest winning streak. The Wildcats grinded out a road win over rival Arizona State in their last game and had all kinds of problems with Washington's 2-3 zone in their return to McKale Center.
The Lithuanian big man snapped McKale Center fans out of their doldrums and his team with it on a dunk with just over five minutes left. An energized Arizona then reeled off 15 straight points, taking a 39-38 lead on Kerr Kriisa's corner 3-pointer.
