No. 5 Arizona’s home winning streak ends at 28

-

Mouhamed Gueye had 24 points and 14 rebounds, and Washington State ended No. 5 Arizona’s 28-game home winning streak with a 74-61 victory Saturday.

The Cougars (7-10, 2-4 Pac-12) shut down Arizona’s once-potent offense, creating a rare subdued atmosphere inside McKale Center. Washington State built an 18-point lead midway through the second half, withstood Arizona’s late run and shot 12 of 28 from threepoint range to end what had been the nation’s third-longest active winning streak.

The Wildcats (14-2, 3-2) struggled offensivel­y for the third consecutiv­e game, shooting 32% and four for 25 from beyond the three-point arc. Arizona had its fewest halftime points (27) in two seasons under coach Tommy Lloyd and ran out of

gas after a late 12-2 run cut the Cougars’ lead to five.
