No. 3 UCLA 73, No. 17 Arizona 69

Not long ago, while UCLA donned the nation's top-ranked team, Arizona's Marcus Williams said his Wildcats were the standard of greatness in the Pac-10. No doubt the Bruins took exception.

UCLA's Arron Afflalo scored a game-high 22 points and held Williams — the Pac-10's leading scorer — to just 11, leading the No. 3 Bruins to a 73-69 win in Los Angeles on Saturday.

The No. 17 Wildcats (13-5 overall, 4-4 Pac-10) lost their third straight conference game for the first time in 22 years.

Darren Collison added 14 points and seven assists, and Michael Roll had 13 for the Bruins (17-1 overall, 6-1 Pac-10), who remain tied atop the Pac-10 standings with Oregon.

Ivan Radenovic led the Wildcats with 21 points.

UCLA — who was without the services of Luc Richard Mbah a Moute — has won its past four games against Arizona, and its past 15 at Pauley Pavilion.

The Bruins will travel to the Bay Area this week; the Wildcats will host Arizona State on Wednesday and North Carolina on Saturday.

No. 7 Oregon 92, Cal 84

Underachievers no more.

Aaron Brooks continued his remarkable season, bringing the No. 10 Ducks back from an eight-point halftime deficit with 22 points en route to a 92-84 win over Cal in Eugene, Ore. on Saturday.

Oregon (18-1 overall, 6-1 Pac-10) is off to its best start in 80 years and won its fifth-straight conference game.

The visiting Golden Bears (12-7 overall, 4-3 Pac-10) had 18 second-chance points and shot nearly 60 percent to take a 46-38 halftime lead. In the second half, Brooks scored 15 of his team's 54 to earn the win.

Malik Hairston had 19 points and Tajuan Porter added 15 for the Ducks. Theo Robertson led the Bears with 19 points.

No. 25 USC 58, Arizona State 49

There's more than one quality college basketball team in Los Angeles, and the men of Troy aren't about to let the country forget it.

Nick Young scored 18 points to lead the Trojans to a 58-49 win and a spot in the nation's top-25 after concluding a sweep of the Arizona schools Saturday.

USC (15-5 overall, 5-2 Pac-10) has won six of its last eight, including four wins over ranked opponents Wichita State, Oregon, Washington and Arizona. The Trojans hadn't been ranked since the 2001-02 season.

In a defensive struggle, both teams shot under 40 percent on the night, but USC shot 22-of-28 from the free throw line. ASU (6-13 overall, 0-8 Pac-10) only managed 4-of-9 shooting from the stripe.

Taj Gibson added 11 points for the Trojans, and Jeff Pendergraph led the Sun Devils with 13 points and nine rebounds.

ASU will travel to Arizona on Wednesday; USC will visit Cal and Stanford.

Stanford 67, Oregon State 56

Lawrence Hill netted a career-high 24 points, including five 3-pointers, to lead Stanford to a 67-56 win in Corvallis, Ore. on Saturday.

The Cardinal (12-5 overall, 4-3 Pac-10) have won four of their last five, and managed a split on their Oregon road trip after losing a close game to Oregon last Thursday.

Oregon State (9-11 overall, 1-6 Pac-10) was led by Marcel Jones' 20 points, eight rebounds and seven steals. The Beavers led at halftime, but were outscored by 16 in the final 20 minutes for their sixth loss in their past seven games.

Stanford committed 18 turnovers to OSU's five but out-shot the hosts 55 percent to 38 percent.

The Cardinal will host the Southern California schools this week; Oregon State will travel to the Washington schools.
