WEEKEND SPORTS UPDATE:
Beavers gnaw at Cats for 6-point upset
Arizona can't complete sweep at Oregon schools
In January, Oregon State lost by 34 in Tucson. What a difference a month makes.
The Beavers pulled off the upset over No. 14 Arizona 90-84 in Corvallis, Ore., leaving the Wildcats with a losing road record for the season, as they fall to 17-7 overall and 9-6 in Pac 10 play.
After averaging close to 30 points over the last four games, Wildcats shooting guard Salim Stoudamire scored 12 points in the loss. He sat out much of the first half after committing two fouls in the game's first 4 minutes.
The Beavers' win marks the first time Oregon State head coach Jay John, a former UA assistant coach, has beaten his old team.

For more than a decade, the UA has been a "weapons-free" campus.
But buried beneath Bear Down Gym are the signs of a tradition that has gone on at the UA for far longer.
Beneath the students playing basketball and lifting weights is a shooting range built in 1926, the year the UA signed a contract with ROTC as part of its land grant mission.
