ARIZONA 71, COLORADO 57: Jesse Perry scored 13 of his 17 points in the second half –including seven in a 55-second span – and added 10 rebounds to catapult the host Wildcats to their third straight victory and a split of the season series.

Solomon Hill recorded 16 points and 13 rebounds and reigning Pac-12 Player of the Week Kyle Fogg scored 15 points for the Wildcats (17-8, 8-4 Pac-12), who lost 64-63 at Boulder on Jan. 21.

Andre Roberson had 12 points and 11 rebounds for his 15th double-double of the season as the Buffaloes (16-8, 8-4) lost for only the second time in their last seven games.

Perry scored seven straight Arizona points to give the Wildcats a 62-50 lead with 3:40 left, and they were never threatened again.

Hill’s jumper finished a 12-4 run as Arizona took a 34-25 lead before Nate Tomlinson’s 3-pointer made it a six-point game at intermission. Hill scored 13 points in the first half.

Colorado quickly tied the game at 36 with an 8-2 run, capped by Roberson’s dunk 3:10 into the second half.
