Washington State ends No. 5 Arizona's home winning streak

TUCSON, Ariz. -- The roars from Washington State's locker room echoed through a hallway underneath the stands at McKale Center.

An understandable celebration after the Cougars had just sent Arizona's fans to the exits early with their first road win over a top-5 opponent in 122 years of basketball.

Playing confidently in one of college basketball's toughest road arenas, Washington State ended No. 5 Arizona's 28-game home winning streak with a 74-61 victory on Saturday.

"You're no different than the players -- you've got to dream it to come true," said Washington State coach Kyle Smith said after his first win in three tries at McKale Center.
