Walton leads UA with 16 points, 4 assists

At this point in the season, Arizona will take a win any way they can get it.

If the slash in the win column comes after two starters are held without a field goal while the bench players dictate the tempo, so be it.

The Wildcats defeated Oregon State 65-54 last night behind the performance of the least likely of players.

"The bench got in and really started playing well, which was really encouraging," said UA sophomore forward Luke Walton, who came off the bench to score a game-high 16 points. "Down at this point of the season, if Coach O can have faith in us, we are going to be a more forceful team. We came in tonight and didn't let any of the momentum down, and as the second five - that's our main responsibility."
