Freshman Chase Budinger scored 30 points to lead Arizona to a 77-74 win at Oregon last Saturday. Ivan Radenovic hit the go-ahead basket with six seconds left and Budinger added a pair of free throws with four seconds remaining.
The win was Arizona's third over a ranked opponent this season. The Trojans are 5-3 against ranked teams.
