PULLMAN, Wash. (AP, by JOSH WRIGHT) -- Jaylen Wells matched a career high with 27 points, including 11 in the final 7 1/2 minutes as No. 19 Washington State beat UCLA 77-65 on Saturday.
The Cougars (23-7, 14-5) rallied for the second time in two days to stay a half-game behind first-place Arizona in the Pac-12 race. They reached 23 wins for the first time since 2007, and their 14th victory in conference play equaled a school record.
Washington State still has a chance to win the Pac-12 regular-season title, but will need Arizona to drop at least one game next weekend.
