"TEMPE, Ariz. -- Koa Peat scored 21 points, fellow freshman Brayden Burries added 17 and No. 1 Arizona beat rival Arizona State 87-74 on Saturday, setting a school record with 22 straight wins to start the season. Arizona (22-0, 9-0 Big 12) is one of just two unbeaten teams in the nation, along with Miami (Ohio). The Wildcats' winning streak also tied the Big 12 record to start a season, originally set by Kansas in 1996-97."
"The Wildcats - who shot 60% in the second half - scored the first six points after the break to take a 44-38 lead and never trailed again. Burries found Peat on a pinpoint full-court pass that led to a dunk for a 56-47 lead with 13:10 left. The gritty Sun Devils cut into the deficit several times, but could never quite generate enough offense to keep pace. Noah Meeusen scored 16 points while Maurice Odum added 15."
"Arizona State led for much of the first few minutes but the Wildcats used a 13-2 run to take a 25-18 lead with 7:00 left in the first half. Peat made a layup to cap the run, finishing through contact that left him bloodied around his left eye. The Sun Devils recovered, tying the game at 38 just before halftime when Meeusen made a 3-pointer with two seconds remaining."
Arizona improved to 22-0 (9-0 Big 12) with an 87-74 victory over Arizona State, establishing a school record for consecutive wins to start a season. Koa Peat led the Wildcats with 21 points while freshman Brayden Burries contributed 17, including a pinpoint full-court pass that set up a dunk. Arizona shot 60% in the second half and used a 13-2 run to seize control. Arizona State's Noah Meeusen scored 16 and Maurice Odum added 15, but the Sun Devils could not sustain enough offense and fell to 11-11 (2-7).
