Arizona reserve forward Ira Lee scored four points in the last 41 seconds, leading the Wildcats to a 75-70 win at Stanford in a Pac-12 game Wednesday night.

It was the 18th consecutive head-to-head win for Arizona (12-4, 3-0 Pac-12) over Stanford (7-8, 0-3) and the Wildcats' ninth straight victory at Maples Pavilion.

Lee, who finished with a season-high 12 points in 18 minutes, made a layup off a dive-and-dish by Justin Coleman with 41 seconds left to put Arizona ahead 71-68.

Lee, an 81 percent free-throw shooter, replaced Coleman at the free-throw line with 17.1 seconds left and made both to give Arizona a 73-68 lead.

Sharma picked up a loose ball on the other end and made a layup to cut the deficit to 73-70 with nine seconds left.

Brandon Randolph, who led Arizona with 17 points, made two free throws with two seconds remaining to seal the Wildcats' win.

Arizona was up 61-54 with seven minutes left and the opportunity to build the lead with Coleman at the free-throw line, but Coleman (shooting 82.9 percent from the line) missed the front end of a one-and-one situation.

Stanford then scored six unanswered points, including four from KZ Okpala on strong drives to the basket, to cut the difference to 61-60 with 3:46 left. Okpala finished with a career-high 29 points on 11-of-16 shooting from the field.
