TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) Freshman Brayden Burries scored 20 points, Motiejus Krivas added 15 and No. 1 Arizona Wildcats rolled to a 96-62 win over Abilene Christian Wildcats on Tuesday night.
Arizona (10-0) jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the first 90 seconds and never trailed, taking a 51-31 lead by halftime. Coach Tommy Lloyd's Wildcats have won five straight by at least 20 points for the first time since the 2010-11 season.
The 6-foot-4 Burries scored at least 20 points for the third time this season, shooting 9 of 11 from the field. He had a season-high 28 points in Saturday's win over then-No. 12 Alabama. The 7-foot-2 Krivas made all four of his field-goal attempts and shot 7 of 8 on free throws.
Six Arizona players scored in double figures. Ivan Kharchenkov had 11 points while Jaden Bradley, Koa Peat and Tobe Awaka all had 10. The Wildcats shot 66.7% from the field.
Arizona is the top team in the country thanks to an undefeated start that's included five wins over nationally-ranked opponents, including UConn, Florida, Auburn, UCLA and Alabama. It's the seventh 10-0 start in school history.
Abilene Christian (7-4) was led by Cbo Newton, who scored 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting. Joseph Scott added 15 points.
Bradley led Arizona with 10 points in the first half - all on free throws. ACU committed 16 fouls before the break and Arizona capitalized by making 19 of 25 free throws (76%).
Arizona had a 44-22 advantage in points in the paint.
Abilene Christian: At No. 10 BYU on Friday.
Arizona: Plays San Diego State in Phoenix on Saturday.
