Pac-12 Tournament: Beavers Stun Top-Seeded Huskies; Arizona, Stanford Advance; Colorado Effectively Ends Ducks NCAA Chances

The Pacific-12 Conference's men's basketball tournament's quarterfinal round took place on Thursday in Los Angeles with four games.


In the opener, Devon Collier scored 19 points while Jared Cunningham hit a go-ahead layup with 31.8 seconds remaining as the ninth-seeded Oregon State Beavers (19-13) blew a fifteen-point lead, then bounced back to knock off the top-seeded Washington Huskies (21-10) 86-84.


A 25 point, 12 rebound performance from Solomon Hill helped carry the Arizona Wildcats (22-10) to a 66-58 win over the UCLA Bruins (19-14).


Jorge Gutierrez scored 22 points as the California Golden Bears (24-8) defeated the Stanford Cardinal (21-11) 77-71. 


In the Thursday night finale, Carlton Brown scored 18 points while Andre Roberson added 12 (two of them on a go-ahead layup with 10 seconds remaining) while grabbing 10 rebounds as the sixth-seeded Colorado Buffaloes (21-11) knocked off the third-seeded Oregon Ducks (22-9) 63-62, perhaps knocking the Ducks out of a shot at an NCAA tournament berth.
