BIG PICTURE

Nnaji recorded his conference-leading 12th double-double, which also ties him for second on Arizona's all-time single-season list for freshmen.

Stanford: The Cardinal opened the season 11-1 at home and have since lost three of their past four, with the lone win over nationally-ranked Oregon. Stanford was once 4-0 and alone in first place in the conference and is now in a seventh-place tie. . Tyrell Terry played with fellow Minnesota native Zeke Nnaji at the AAU level.
