TUCSON, Arizona — James Akinjo scored a career-high 26 points with seven assists, his final one a kick-out to Azuolas Tubelis who converted a baseline jumper for a 75-74 victory over Washington.
Washington's Quade Green was called for a charge, and after a timeout by Arizona with 15 seconds left, Akinjo headed into the paint before dishing the ball to Tubelis, who with one foot on the 3-point arc hit the game-winner with 5.2 seconds remaining.
Green's hurried 3-point try at the buzzer was short. Washington's Hameir Wright scored a career-18 points with five 3-pointers before fouling out with two minutes left.
