Azuolas Tubelis hit an 18-foot jumper from the left corner with 5.2 seconds left to give Arizona a 75-74 win over Washington on Saturday in what was probably the Wildcats’ final home game of the season.

Arizona called a timeout trailing 74-73 with 15 seconds left, and James Akinjo drove inside before kicking it out to Tubelis, who was open in the right corner. The shot was reviewed to see whether it was a 3-pointer but it didn’t matter when Washington’s Quade Green raced downcourt for a final desperation 3 that came up well short before the buzzer.

Akinjo wound up with a career-high 26 points along with his game-winning assist and six other assists.

Arizona shot just 36.5% but outrebounded the Huskies 41-29, scoring 18 second-chance points on 13 offensive rebounds.

The win moved Arizona to 17-8 overall and 11-8 in the Pac-12, heading into their final conference game Monday at Oregon. That game may also end the Wildcats’ season, though they have the scheduling room to add another nonconference game next week if they can find a suitable opponent.

Washington dropped to 5-10 and 4-16.

The game was tied at 69-69 with 2:33 left before James Akinjo hit of 1 of2 free htrows but Erik Stevenson drove inside to score and give Washington a 71-70 lead with 1:33 left.

But Akinjo hit a 3 with 1:11 left to give UA the lead back, 73-72, and Green made two free htrows with 1:01 left to put Washington ahead by one – while Mamel Bey blocked Akin’s lauup wit 45 second lsef. But Washington’s Stevenson was called for a charge against UA guard Kerr Kriisa , giving the Wildcats the ball and 18 seconds left to attempt a game winner.

It was a rough senior day for Terrell Brown, who had just two points on 1 for 11 shooting, and Ira Lee, who was scoreless in just four minutes played.

Up by six at halftime, Arizona couldn’t pull away from Washington early in the second in large part because Husky forward Hameir Wright hit 4 of 5 3-pointers he took during the first 11 minutes.

Before the game, the Wildcats held Senior Day ceremonies for Matt Weyand, Terrell Brown and Ira Lee. All three players have family members at the game, the first time Arizona has allowed any player guests since its Nov. 27 opener against Grambling.

The Wildcats, who used to hold ceremonies after the game, had lost three of four senior day games before Saturday.

Lee and Brown started for the Wildcats, who played Kerr Kriisa off the bench after he missed Thursday’s UA-Washington State game with a groin injury.

Brown started in Kriisa’s place Thursday and had one of his best games of the season, with seven points, eight assists and four blocks.

Washington is wearing retro black-and-gold uniforms while Arizona is in its home whites.

At halftime, UA honored former Wildcats Ernie McCray and Al Fleming by putting the into the basketball Ring of Honor. Both were already in UA’s Sports Hall of Fame.
