Arizona rallies to beat pesky Washington, keep homecourt win streak alive

Arizona is eventually going to lose a home game under Tommy Lloyd, but the Wildcats were determined not to make that happen on Thursday night.

The fifth-ranked Wildcats overcame a terrible offensive night by ratcheting up the defense in the second half, rallying past Washington 70-67. It was their 28th consecutive win at McKale Center, but for much of the night it looked like the win streak was in serious jeopardy.

Arizona (15-1, 3-1 Pac-12) trailed by as much as 14 in the first half and didn’t make a field goal in the second half until almost nine minutes in.
