Roundup: Arizona moves to head of Pac-10

LOS ANGELES — Salim Stoudamire and Ivan Radenovic each scored six points during a decisive 19-0 run early in the second half, and No. 12 Arizona beat UCLA 83-73 yesterday.

Josh Shipp's basket with 17:33 remaining gave UCLA a five-point lead before Channing Frye's three-point play 19 seconds later triggered the spurt that put the Wildcats ahead 61-47.

The Bruins weren't closer than the final margin after that, and made the game seem closer than it actually was by scoring the last 11 points.

Stoudamire scored 15 of his 22 points in the second half to lead the Wildcats. Radenovic had 19 points and 12 rebounds, Mustafa Shakur scored 17, and Frye and Hassan Adams each scored 11 for Arizona.

By winning for the 18th time in 20 games and beating UCLA soundly for the third straight time at Pauley Pavilion, the Wildcats (21-4, 11-2 Pac-10) moved into first place in the conference. No. 11 Washington (20-3, 10-2) plays today at Oregon State.

"We all decided we needed to stop being selfish," Stoudamire said. "Defense, and we rebounded, got transition buckets. They got a little tired. I don't think that's the best we've played. It's up there, though."

The victory was the 301st in conference play for Lute Olson since he became Arizona's coach in 1983, and moved him three behind Pac-10 record-holder John Wooden, who watched the game from behind the Bruins' bench.

Freshman Jordan Farmar led the Bruins (13-7, 7-6) with a career-high 27 points and five assists.

STANFORD, Calif. — Matt Haryasz turned an unfortunate injury to his teammate into motivation and turned in one of best games of the season as a result.

Haryasz scored 12 of his 18 points in the second half to go with a game-high 11 rebounds to help lead Stanford past California.

Dan Grunfeld had 16 points for the Cardinal (13-9, 7-5) despite missing most of the second half with a knee injury. Rob Little had 11 points and 10 rebounds, and Chris Hernandez had 13 points as Stanford beat Cal at home for the 12th straight time.

Grunfeld, who suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligamen in his right knee, will miss the remainder of the season. The injury will require surgery, but no date has been set.

Grunfeld was helped into the locker room with 15:16 remaining to play in the game after falling awkwardly when his layup attempt was blocked under the basket by Richard Midgley.

"I just stopped and stood there for a second," Hernandez said. "And time just stopped as well."

Grunfeld, who leads the Cardinal in scoring, has reached double figures in 20 of his last 22 games.

"It looked like he was in pain," Haryasz said. "I got fired up after that. That's my best friend; that's my boy. We had to take it at them."

Grunfeld is averaging 18.0 points per game this season, second in the Pac-10, after averaging 3.4 last year, the biggest jump by a Division I player this year.

David Paris scored 18 points and nine rebounds for the Bears (12-10, 5-7), who have dropped 15 of their last 17 meetings against Stanford.

Tiger Woods, one of Stanford's more illustrious alums, was in attendance sporting his Cardinal "Sixth-Man" T-shirt.

USC 82, Arizona St. 71

LOS ANGELES — Nick Young got 16 of his 18 points in the second half and USC (10-14, 3-10) beat Arizona State (16-9, 5-8). USC's Lodrick Stewart, the former Rainier Beach High standout, had nine points.

The victory snapped a five-game losing streak for the Trojans. It's the first time the Sun Devils have been swept by both USC and UCLA since the 2000-01 season.

Steve Moore led Arizona State with 19 points after scoring a career-high 31 against the Bruins.

Ike Diogu, the Pac-10 scoring and rebounding leader, had 12 points and six rebounds. He has scored in double digits in all of his 84 college games.
