SEATTLE — Freshman Chase Budinger
scored 23 points and Marcus Williams and
Jawaan McClellan each scored 22 to lead
Arizona to its 12th consecutive victory.
Mustafa Shakur added 21 points for Ari-
zona (12-1, 3-0 Pac-10).
Quincy Pondexter matched his career
high with 25 points for Washington (10-4,

scored 22 points in his three previous
games combined.
Arizona won for just the third time in its
last nine games against Washington. The
Huskies had won their last seven home
games against ranked opponents.
McClellan’s fifth 3-pointer of the game
gave Arizona a 90-86 lead with 3:37 re-
maining. Washington went the final 4:25
without a field goal.
#10 Pittsburgh.................................... 74
Syracuse ............................................66
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Levance Fields
scored a career-high 24 points for Pitts-
burgh in the Big East opener for both
teams.
The Panthers (13-2) have won nine of the
last 12 meetings with Syracuse (11-4) and
three of the last four in the Carrier Dome.
Aaron Gray had nine points and nine re-
bounds for Pitt, while Ronald Ramon had
12 points.
Eric Devendorf had 17 points and Darryl
Watkins added 11 points and eight re-
bounds for the Orange, who lost at home
for the third time this season.
Syracuse rallied within 60-58 with 6:22 to
go on a 3-pointer and another long jumper,
both from the left corner, by Andy Rautins.
But Graves hit a 3 from the right corner as
the shot clock was winding down, Cook
converted a finger roll and Ramon drained
a 3 from right wing to give Pitt a 68-62 lead
with 2:52 left.

sists and nine rebounds, and Weyinmi Efe-
juku had 18 points and 10 boards for Prov-
idence (11-3). The Friars played without
guard Sharaud Curry, the team leader in
points and assists per game, who missed
his third consecutive game for violating

was without No. 2 scorer Jerel McNeal,

jans (12-4, 2-1 Pac-10), who shot 55 per-
cent from the field.
Aaron Brooks scored 31 points for the
Ducks (13-1, 1-1), but he missed a chance
to tie the game from the free throw line
with 1.4 seconds to play.
He was fouled attempting to take a des-
peration 3 with the Ducks trailing 84-81.
Brooks swished through his first attempt,
missed his second, then intentionally
missed the third. The loose ball was picked
up by Oregon’s Chamberlain Oguchi, but
he couldn’t get a shot off before time ex-
pired.
The loss denied the Ducks a chance to tie
the best start in school history

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Kobe Bryant
overcame a scoreless opening 16 minutes
to finish with 42 points, and Los Angeles
blew a 21-point lead before rallying past
Sacramento.
Bryant fed Smush Parker for the game-ty-
ing shot in the final second of regulation
for one of his nine assists, then scored on
the opening possession of overtime to give
the Lakers the lead for good in the first
meeting of the season between these two
fierce California rivals.
Brian Cook added 26 points, Luke Walton
scored 16 and Andrew Bynum had 15
points and 11 rebounds as the Lakers won
their first game since center Kwame Brown
went down with an ankle injury.
Sacramento was also without its starting
center, as Brad Miller missed the game
with flu-like symptoms. Mike Bibby led the
Kings with 38 points, Kevin Martin had 21
and Ron Artest added 19.

NHL Game Caps
Sharks ..................................................9
Red Wings ............................................4
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Patrick Marleau had
a goal and three assists while becoming
the Sharks’ career scoring leader, and Joe
Thornton contributed four assists during
their rally from a three-goal deficit to beat
Detroit.
The Red Wings played without veteran
defenseman Chris Chelios, who is indefi-
nitely sidelined while he deals with the
stabbing deaths of two employees in his
Detroit sports bar. They also didn’t have
top-line forward Pavel Datsyuk, who
missed his second game with an upper-
body injury.
Mike Grier scored two of the Sharks’ fran-
chise-record six power-play goals, includ-
ing five in the third period during a string of
nine consecutive goals for the Sharks.
Both power-play totals were the most ever
allowed in Detroit’s lengthy hockey history,
capping a stunning offensive avalanche by
the formerly struggling Sharks.
