TUCSON, Ariz.  — Freshman Stanley Johnson won the dunk contest and then led all scorers with 17 points in the Arizona Wildcats' Red-Blue scrimmage at McKale Center on Saturday.

Johnson had two slams in the game after winning the pre-scrimmage contest, scoring perfect 10s from three judges as he took his own bounce pass, went between the legs and threw down a clean right-handed jam. He made 7 of 13 shots for the Blue team.
