No. 4 Arizona Wildcats bounced back from consecutive losses by defeating No. 23 BYU Cougars 75-68 in Tucson on Wednesday night. Anthony Dell'Orso led the Wildcats with a season-high 22 points off the bench, while Ivan Kharchenkov added 18 points as Arizona improved to 24-2 overall and 11-2 in Big 12 play.

Arizona had started the season with 23 straight wins and spent nine weeks ranked No. 1 before falling to Kansas and Texas Tech. The Wildcats played without starting forward Koa Peat and backup guard Dwayne Aristode due to injury and illness. BYU's freshman star AJ Dybantsa dominated with 35 points on 13-of-28 shooting, his sixth 30-point game of the season, but couldn't overcome Arizona's depth.

The Cougars were also without starting guard Richie Saunders, who tore his ACL in Saturday's overtime win against Colorado and is out for the season. Arizona never trailed in the second half and built a 16-point lead before BYU made a late push to cut the deficit to five points with under a minute remaining.
