Stanford scores win over No. 4 Arizona

Spencer Jones scored all 18 of his points in the second half for Stanford and played a key role in neutralizing Pac-12 leading scorer Azuolas Tubelis, as the Cardinal stunned visiting No. 4 Arizona 88-79 on Saturday night.

Stanford (11-14, 5-9 Pac12) beat a ranked team for the first time this season. Arizona (22-4, 11-4) had a seven-game win snapped.

Courtney Ramey scored a season- and game-high 26 points for Arizona, which could not overcome Tubelis’ worst game of the season. The junior forward, who had 40 points against Oregon on Feb. 2 and had averaged a near double-double this season (20.9 points, 9.7 rebounds) to lead the conference in both categories, was held to four points.

Tubelis did not have a rebound and committed four fouls.

Stanford’s Michael O’Connell scored a teamhigh 22 points, helping the Cardinal outshoot the Wildcats 61% to 46% from the field. Harrison Ingram contributed 12 points and a game-high nine rebounds.

Jones took command of a back-and-forth game a third of the way through the second half, scoring all 13 of Stanford’s points during a nearly seven-minute stretch that ended with a layup that gave the Cardinal a 67-66 lead with 7:35 remaining.

A three-point play by Angel extended Stanford’s lead to 70-66 before a Ramey 3 cut the lead to one.

But the Cardinal scored the next nine points.

NO. 3 ALABAMA 77, AUBURN 69 >>

Rylan Griffen scored 16 points, Mark Sears added 15 and the visiting Crimson Tide held off a big challenge from their in-state rival Tigers.

Alabama (22-3, 12-0 SEC) remained the only Power 5 team without a league loss. Sears and Griffen helped Alabama overcome an off shooting performance from star Brandon Miller, who had 13 points but missed all seven 3-point attempts.

Wendell Green Jr. had 16 of his 24 points in the second half for Auburn. Jaylin Williams had 14 of his 16 points before the half. But the Tigers (17-8, 7-5) missed nine straight shots in the final minutes and have dropped five of their last six games.

NO. 5 TEXAS 94, WEST VIRGINIA 60 >>

MISSOURI 86, NO. 6 TENNESSEE 85 >>

D’Andre Gholston hit a 3-pointer at the

buzzer to give the Tigers a stunning road victory over the Volunteers.

Gholston took the inbounds and dribbled up the court before taking an off-balance contested 3-pointer from about 30 feet that swished through the net at the buzzer.

Tennessee came back from a 17-point hole early in the second half to take the lead. Tyreke Key came off the bench to score 21 of his 23 points after intermission and spark the Vols’ rally.

Kobe Brown scored 21 to lead the Tigers. Gholston finished with 18 points.

NO. 8 VIRGINIA 69, DUKE 62, OT >>

Virginia (19-4, 11-3 ACC) won despite a 9-for-22 performance from the freethrow line.

Duke (17-8, 8-6) seemed poised to win when Kyle Filipowski drove on the final play of regulation and two defenders contested his shot. The officials initially whistled a foul, but waved it off after a review.
