TUCSON — Eventually, Stanford figures to win another game against Arizona.

Unfortunately for the Cardinal, Sunday was not that day.

Ira Lee scored 16 points, Chase Jeter and Justin Coleman added 14 apiece and Arizona beat Stanford 70-54 for its 19th straight win in the series.

“Like any streak, there’s always those moments where you just roll your eyes, whether the streak is against you or for you,” Arizona head coach Sean Miller said. “Like I’ve said before: the other 17, they don’t help you win game 18. You have to do it all over again.”

The Wildcats (16-12, 7-8 Pac-12) played a solid all-around game to beat Cal on Wednesday and kept their momentum going against Stanford.

Arizona jumped to an early 11-point lead and turned back a couple of Stanford runs to keep the Cardinal winless in Tucson since 2008.

Coleman ran Arizona’s offense well, finishing with five assists. Jeter and Lee went right at Stanford’s big men, shooting a combined 13-for-17 from the floor.

“Ira has been playing the best basketball of his career lately,” Coleman said. “I’ve seen him grow.”

Stanford (14-13, 7-8) had some success shooting inside, but went 4-for-20 from beyond the 3-point arc. Daejon Davis had 14 points and Oscar da Silva added 12 for the Cardinal.

Stanford’s KZ Okpala had 10 points after missing Wednesday’s game at Arizona State because of an injury.

“We dug our hole early and didn’t really get enough momentum to gain the advantage,” Stanford head coach Jerod Haase said. “I thought our guys fought and fought the entire time. The big difference was early in the game and that really hurt us.”
