The nation's most efficient offense fell apart and so did Arizona's 28-game homecourt winning streak, in the Wildcats' 74-61 loss to Washington State on Saturday at McKale Center.

Center Mouhamed Gueye had 24 points and 14 rebounds to lead the Cougars, who improved to just 7-10 and 2-4 in Pac-12 play.

WSU forward DJ Rodman then hit two 3-pointers on consecutive possessions to give WSU a 53-35 lead with 12:44 left,, the Cougars’ biggest lead to that point. In the first half, Washington State took a 37-27 halftime lead while hitting seven 3-pointers and holding the Wildcats to just 33.3% percent shooting.

The Cougars also held UA to just 33.3% shooting while the Wildcats missed all but one of their eight 3-point shots. UA made up for some of its offensive troubles by taking 13 trips to the free throw line but made only eight free throws. Earlier in the half, WSU took a 16-12 lead over the first eight minutes, after getting a three-point play from Mouhamed Gueye and a 3-pointer from Powell. While Gueye had 11 points and seven rebounds for WSU, Powell had 11 points and hit 3 of 4 3-pointers.
