Associated Press

Pac-10

Donald Watts scored 22 points as Washington survived a late Oregon rally to beat the Ducks 62-61 in a Pac-10 men’s college basketball game Saturday night in Seattle.

Todd MacCulloch’s two free throws with 1:50 left gave Washington a 62-60 lead that held up.

Oregon had two shots to win the game in the final 5 seconds, but both missed the mark.

MacCulloch scored 15 points for Washington (15-7, 8-5).

Henry Madden scored 19 points for Oregon (11-11, 6-7) while Terik Brown scored 14 and A.D. Smith 12.

Oregon trailed for most of the contest but kept the game close by hitting eight 3-pointers, including four by Madden.

(3) Arizona 83, Arizona St. 82

In Tempe, Ariz., Miles Simon scored 23 points and A.J. Bramlett had all 11 of his points in the second half as the Wildcats held on to beat the Sun Devils.

It was the 15th consecutive victory for the defending national champion Wildcats (22-3, 12-0), who haven’t lost since Dec. 23 at Florida State.

Arizona State (16-9, 6-6) lost for the sixth straight time to its archrival and 25th in the last 30 meetings overall.

The Sun Devils, crushed 127-99 at Tucson on Jan. 15, led 62-56 with 13:14 to play before Simon and Bramlett took over.

But after Mike Bibby’s jumper with 2:19 remaining put the Wildcats up 83-79, they didn’t score again and nearly let Arizona State pull off the upset.

Jeremy Veal, who had 24 points, hit a driving layin with 1:15 left and Ahlon Lewis drove the baseline for a finger roll with 37 seconds remaining to pull the Sun Devils within 83-82.

Arizona then missed the front ends of three 1-and-1s - one by Simon and two by Michael Dickerson - in an eight-second span.

Bobby Lazor, who had 20 points, pulled down Dickerson’s last miss and Arizona State called a timeout with nine seconds left to set up a final shot. But Lewis’ baseline jumper bounced off the rim at the buzzer.

Arizona (22-3) - Davison 3-7 0-0 6, Dickerson 6-15 4-6 16, Bramlett 3-6 5-6 11, Bibby 6-14 4-4 16, Simon 10-16 1-3 23, Harris 1-3 0-0 2, Terry 1-4 0-0 2, Edgerson 2-7 3-4 7. Totals 32-72 17-23 83.

In Los Angeles, Kris Johnson matched his season high with 28 points and J.R. Henderson had 18 of his 23 points in the second half as the Bruins rebounded from a rare home loss to beat the Golden Bears.

UCLA (19-5, 9-4) had lost two of its previous three games including an 84-81 setback to No. 14 Stanford on Thursday night, which snapped its 16-game winning streak at Pauley Pavilion.

The last team to beat the Bruins at home had been Cal last season. The Golden Bears (9-12, 5-7) had been a nemesis for UCLA, beating the Bruins in four of the last five games between the teams at Pauley.

Tim Young added 19 points for the Cardinal (21-3, 10-2), who took control of the game early in the second half after making only 32 percent of its field-goal attempts in the opening 20 minutes.
