Nick Johnson got the credit for finding a way to score needed points in the closing minutes for Arizona, but only after everyone got done raving about the defensive effort Johnson put forth against Washington's C.J. Wilcox, the leading scoring in the Pac-12 in conference games. "I was looking forward to it coming in," Johnson said. "I feel like I played hard. I think I did a good job. He's a great player. He can score with the best of them." Johnson had 15 points, five in the final 2 minutes, and No. 8 Arizona rallied from an early deficit for an ugly 57-53 victory over Washington on Thursday night, snapping a three-game losing streak to the Huskies.
