No. 23 Stanford 75, No. 5 UCLA 68

In the first half, Stanford went scoreless for nearly eight minutes and stumbled to a 17-point deficit. Then, with less than one minute to go before halftime, the Cardinal closed the half on a 5-0 run to swing the momentum in their favor.

Stanford then dominated the second half, outscoring the Bruins 50-31 in the final 20 minutes en route to a 75-68 upset win over the Pac-10 favorites in Maples Pavilion on Sunday.

Lawrence Hill led the Cardinal (14-5 overall, 6-3 Pac-10) with 22 points on 8-of-10 shooting from the field, and Anthony Goods added 20 points, including four 3-pointers.

It was UCLA's second loss of the season.

Arron Afflalo had 22 points, six rebounds and five assists — all team highs — for the Bruins (18-2 overall, 7-2 Pac-10).

Stanford swept the L.A. schools over the weekend and debuted in the latest Associated Press top 25 poll yesterday. The Cardinal will host Gonzaga on Wednesday and travel to Cal on Saturday. The Bruins split their Bay Area road trip and will host the Oregon schools this week.

No. 9 Oregon 77, No. 18 Washington State 74 (OT)

Pac-10 officials were in the middle of another controversial finish, this time at the expense of Washington State.

Oregon's Maarty Leunen made two free throws with 0.5 seconds remaining to send the game into overtime, after a questionable foul call on a last second putback attempt. The Ducks then scored the first 10 points in the extra period and held on for a 77-74 win in Pullman, Wash., on Saturday.

Back from his one-game suspension, guard Aaron Brooks scored 31 points on five 3-pointers to lead the Ducks (19-2 overall, 7-2 Pac-10) to a first-place tie in the conference.

Derrick Low scored 37 points on nine 3-pointers to lead the Cougars (17-4 overall, 6-3 Pac-10), but just missed a game-tying attempt from beyond the arc at the end of overtime. Kyle Weaver had another complete game with 13 points, eight assists and seven rebounds, but also missed a big 3-pointer at the end.

This was the first game in which a ranked WSU team hosted another ranked team since 1950.

No. 3 North Carolina 92, No. 20 Arizona 64

Traveling across the country in the middle of the conference season and playing without its second-leading scorer was no problem for the North Carolina Tar Heels on Saturday.

UNC's Ty Lawson netted a career-high 18 points and led his team to a 92-64 blowout win over the Wildcats in Tucson, Ariz.

The Tar Heels (19-2 overall, 5-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) gave coach Lute Olson the worst home loss in his 24-year tenure at the University of Arizona. Before this 28-point defeat, Olson's previous worst was a 12-point loss to Tennessee in 1983, his second month as coach.

Chase Budinger scored all 16 of his points in the second half to lead the Wildcats (14-6 overall, 5-4 Pac-10). As a team, the Wildcats shot 1-of-23 from behind the arc.

The Wildcats will host the Washington schools this week.

No. 25 USC 76, Cal 73

Like the Bruins, the Trojans blew a 17-point lead over the weekend. Unlike their crosstown rivals, USC was able to pull out the win.

Daniel Hackett made a game-tying layup with 16 seconds remaining to secure a 76-73 win over the Golden Bears in Berkeley, Calif. on Saturday.

Both Ryan Anderson (19 points) and Omar Wilkes (14 points) missed 3-pointers at the end for Cal (12-9 overall, 4-5 Pac-10), which has lost three straight.

Lodrick Stewart had a game-high 21 points — 18 in the first half — and Nick Young added 19 points, with 17 of those in the second half, to lead the Trojans (16-6 overall 6-3 Pac-10).

USC will host the Oregon schools this week; Cal will host Stanford on Saturday.
