Attorney Jon Artz said in a call with reporters Monday that the other person was the aggressor, was drinking heavily and... Read Full Story
Josh Shipp scored 22 of his career-high 27 points in the first half, when No. 20 UCLA built a 24-point lead on the way to routing Oregon State 79-54 on Thursday night. The second-place Bruins (23-7, 12-5) need to beat Oregon on Saturday and then wait to see if Washington State can upset No. 16 Washington for them to gain a share of their fourth consecutive Pac-10 regular season championship. Otherwise, a Washington victory would give the Huskies their first outright title since 1953 and send... Read Full Story

Nikola Dragovic scored a career-high 20 points as No. 13 UCLA hung on to beat Washington State 61-59 on Thursday for its 16th straight win in Pullman.
