Stanford shuts down Tubelis, tops 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 No. 4 Arizona 88-79 on Saturday night.
Arizona (22-4, 11-4), hoping to stay a half-game behind UCLA for the conference lead, had a seven-game win stopped.
Courtney Ramey scored a season-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 has averaged a near double-double to lead the Pac-12 in points and rebounds, was held to four points.
