STANFORD, Calif. (AP) - Landry Fields matched his career best with 19 points and grabbed a career-high 11 rebounds for his first career double-double as Stanford beat Arizona 76-60 on Sunday night.
Lawrence Hill added 14 points as the Cardinal (11-1, 1-1 Pac-10) recorded their fourth straight win over the Wildcats. Anthony Goods added 13 points.
Jordan Hill scored 17 points and had 16 rebounds for Arizona (9-5, 0-2), which lost its second straight for the first time this season. Nic Wise added 17 points and Chase Budinger had 11.
The Wildcats were coming off their worst offensive performance of the season in a 69-55 loss to California on Friday night and followed that with their second-worst scoring night.
The Cardinal rebounded from a 30-point loss to Arizona State.
Stanford took a 35-26 lead into halftime.
NOTES:
Arizona holds a 48-29 lead in the all-time series, but Stanford has now won four in a row overall. The Cardinal swept all three meetings against the Wildcats last year (home, away, Pac-10 Tournament).
In the last 20 meetings between Stanford and Arizona, 16 games have been decided by 10 points or less.
Since the start of the 2007-08 campaign, Stanford has dropped back-to-back games only once.
Arizona committed 20 turnovers, becoming the fifth team this year that has made at least 20 miscues against Stanford.
Anthony Goods has made 14 of his last 16 free throws. He is 54-68 from the foul line this year.
Arizona was 0-8 from beyond the arc, becoming the first team to be held without a three-pointer since Oregon State finished 0-8 last year in Corvallis.
Stanford now embarks on its first Pac-10 road trip of the year, squaring off against Washington (Jan. 8) and Washington State (Jan. 10). The Cardinal swept this same road trip last year, winning 65-51 at Washington before edging Washington State 67-65 in overtime two days later.
