Arizona (8-3) at No. 7 Washington (11-0) 2:00 pm EST
SEATTLE (Ticker) -- With one day remaining in 2005, No. 7
Washington is looking to keep a pair of streaks intact Saturday
when it meets Pac-10 rival Arizona.
The Huskies have won 32 consecutive home games - the nation's
longest active streak - and is off to an 11-0 start for the
first time in 30 years.
After missing their first 10 shots Thursday against Arizona
State, the Huskies rallied behind
Brandon Roy, who scored a
career-high 35 points in a 91-67 triumph.
A 6-6 senior guard, Roy made five 3-pointers and became the 31st
player in school history to reach 1,000 points. He helped lead
Washington to victory in the opening game of its conference
schedule.
Jamaal Williams scored 12 points and Bobby Jones and Justin
Dentmon added 11 each for the Huskies, who have not won a
regular season conference title in 21 years.
Arizona returns to action after an eight-day layoff following
its fifth straight victory, an 86-81 overtime triumph over
Western Kentucky in the final of the Fiesta Bowl Classic on
December 21.
Hassan Adams followed his 27-point performance in the first
round against Utah with 23 points in the title game, earning the
tournament's Most Valuable Player Award.
Washington has won five of the last six meetings against Arizona
and will try to prevent Wildcats coach Lute Olsen from
recording his 750th career victory.
