No. 7 Arizona 86, Washington 62: Stanley Johnson had 20 points and eight rebounds as the visiting Wildcats bounced back from their loss to Arizona State with a dominant effort against the Huskies.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson collected 17 points and nine rebounds, Gabe York chipped in 13 points and Brandon Ashley had 11 for Arizona (21-3, 9-2 Pac-12), which shot 52.5 percent and won its fourth in a row against Washington. The Wildcats held a 37-30 edge in rebounds and remained tied with Utah atop the Pac-12 standings.

Washington (14-10, 3-9) lost its sixth straight despite Andrew Andrews’ 18 points and 11 rebounds. Shawn Kemp Jr. had 13 points but leading scorer Nigel Williams-Goss was held to seven points on 1-of-10 shooting for the Huskies, who shot 35.2 percent – including 6-of-20 from 3-point range.
