Cal women:
Anigwe leads No. 23 Bears’ rout of Arizona.
Kristine Anigwe scored 12 points and hauled in 15 rebounds to help No. 23 Cal cruise to a 63-39 win over Arizona in Berkeley on Friday night.
It was Anigwe’s seventh double-double of the season. Asha Thomas also finished with 12 points and Penina Davidson added 10 for the Bears, who controlled the glass 51-30.
Cal (15-5, 6-3 Pac-12) did not trail and was especially dominant in the second quarter, holding Arizona to just three points in the quarter while scoring 19 to take a 38-17 lead into the intermission.
It was the fewest points allowed in any quarter all season for the Bears as Arizona went 1-for-13 from the field during the 10-minute run to the half, getting its only score from a Kat Wright three-pointer with 6:06 left in the half.
Destiny Graham had 10 points and 11 rebounds for Arizona (5-15, 1-8) and Sam Thomas scored 11 points.
#7 Oregon 74, Colorado 55: Ruthy Hebard had 20 points and nine rebounds as the visiting Ducks (19-3, 8-1 Pac-12) won for the 12th time in 13 games. “Our coaches remind us that any time we walk on the floor, (it’s) with a target on our back,” Hebard said.
Sabrina Ionescu, the Pac-12’s leading scorer, added 14 points for Oregon.
“It wasn’t the prettiest game tonight, but credit to them — they play really hard,” Oregon coach Kelly Graves said. “I thought we had some fatigue a good portion of that game.”
Kennedy Leonard’s 16 points led the Buffaloes (11-9, 2-7), who have lost five straight.
#13 UCLA 86, Washington 69: Jordin Canada had 22 points as the visiting Bruins took control in the fourth quarter. UCLA trailed 37-34 at halftime but outscored Washington 28-24 in the third quarter to lead 62-61 going into the fourth quarter. The Huskies scored the first point of the fourth on Amber Melgoza’s free throw to tie it at 62, but the Bruins (16-4, 7-2 Pac-12) scored the next 19 points. Melgoza had 20 points for Washington (7-13, 1-8).
#17 Oregon State 69, Utah 58: Marie Gulich had 18 points and six blocks and Mikayla Pivec added 14 points and 12 rebounds for her third doubledouble this season for the visiting Beavers (19-3, 8-1 Pac-12). Megan Huff had 26 points for the Utes (14-6, 5-4).

#6 Michigan State 71, Wisconsin 62: Miles Bridges scored 24 points as the host Spartans (19-3, 7-2 Big Ten) won their third in a row. The Badgers (10-12, 3-6) have lost five of six.
The game was played less than 12 hours after Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis announced his retirement amid the outcry over how the school handled allegations of sexual assault against doctor Larry Nassar.
“There are a lot of things that happened today that are part of life,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said.
Izzo refused to answer many questions related to the scandal, saying the top priority is for “our courageous survivors” during the healing process.
“I’m going to worry about my team, I’m going to worry about the survivors and I’m going to worry about what I do,” he said.
