Azuolas Tubelis scored 19 points, Courtney Ramey added 11 and No. 5 Arizona used a massive first-half run to blow out Oregon State 84-52 on Saturday night.
The Wildcats slogged through a foul-filled first half before racing past the Beavers with a 19-2 run that gave them a 26-point halftime lead.
The Beavers brought one of the nation’s least-experienced teams into McKale Center and had the game at the pace they wanted — for a little while. Once the Wildcats started rolling, the Beavers couldn’t catch them, losing their seventh straight to Arizona. Jordan Pope led Oregon State with 11 points.Relying on defense and half-court offense, the Wildcats steadily built a 14-point lead in small increments. Arizona seemed to spend as much time at the free throw line as running their offense and took advantage, hitting 15 of 21 in the first half.
