Washington State held off UCLA for most of Sunday's game but the Bruins had more in the tank at the end of the game and came away with a 72-67 win.

-- California won its Senior Night matchup with Oregon State, which still struggles mightily on the road.

-- Arizona State failed in its quest to spoil Colorado's Senior Night.
