Henri Veesaar scored 19 points and Arizona stretched its winning streak to seven games with an 81-70 victory over No. 25 Baylor.

The Wildcats built a 27-point lead and held off the Bears’ furious comeback attempt that whittled the lead down to as little as nine points.

After winning the Pac-12 last season, the Arizona Wildcats have quickly put themselves in a position to win the Big 12. Picked to finish fifth in the conference in the preseason Big 12 coaches poll, the Wildcats are 5-0 and all alone in first place after Tuesday night's 81-70 rout of Baylor.
