Recommended viewing. Very physical. Arizona challenging the Lopez boys with dunks in the paint.

Lopez now doing better job of pushing Hill out further the hoop than he would like.

Jordon Hill is going to be one tired puppy when this one's over. Arizona came out hard because they need the win. But the Lopez boys throw a lot of weight around, and signs of fatigue are already showing on the Arizona frontcourt with 8 mins left in the 1st.

Flurry of 3 balls towards end of the half. Three for Arizona, and two for Stanford.

Announcers said that Arizona's point guard, Nick Wise, just returned. Didn't know he had been out, but it might explain why they've been a little inconsistent the last month or so. He's a tough little player.

Great game. Tied at 35 at the half.

Lopez brothers really shooting well, not just bunnies, but 8 footers too.

Buddinger is shooting a smooth three ball tonight.

Nick Wise with a couple poor decisions right before half.

Game still hotly contested with lots of effort and individual plays all over the court.

Arizona has been as fluid or aggressive in the second so far. Too bad half time came because they were in a nice offensive rhythm at the end of the 1st.

Arizona is now doubling with a front man on Brook Lopez cause he is hurting them so bad. Almost an auto score.

Stanford leads 51-49 with 11:16.

8:12 left and suddenly it's a 10 point game. Stanford 61-51. Arizona is pressing because of Stanford consistent offense. Turnovers and missed shots for Arizona, which just compounds the problem.

5:55, 67-54 Stanford. Lopez for 2. Repeat.

Can't see Arizona coming back to take this one.

Insult to injury some walk on hits left handed unintended bank shot from 15' for Stanford. 2:23, 9 point game.

Another offensive board for Stanford. This one's over. Just need the clock to run out. Arizona not even bothering to foul.

75-64 final.
