Arizona men’s basketball cruises to win at Stanford but loses Azuolas Tubelis to injury

This probably isn’t sustainable, but each time Arizona has something go wrong with one of its starters there’s at least one guy coming off the bench ready to fill the void.

Oumar Ballo had a career-high 21 points and Pelle Larsson added 13 with six assists, stepping in for an injured Azuolas Tubelis and a foul-prone Christian Koloko to lead the third-ranked Wildcats to a 85-57 win at Stanford on Thursday night.

Ballo, a Gonzaga transfer who came in averaging 5.8 points and 4.4 rebounds in only 12.9 minutes per game, was 7 of 8 from the field and 7 of 9 from the line and also had six rebounds and two blocks.
