LAS VEGAS — Coach Adia Barnes said postseason is the time for stars to shine.
This was certainly true for Arizona on Friday.
In a rematch of the last game of the regular season, Cate Reese stepped up and lifted her game to another level with a career-high 30 points to propel the No. 4-seeded Wildcats to a 86-73 domination of No. 12-seeded Cal in the quarterfinals of the Pac-12 Tournament in Las Vegas.
Arizona will face No. 1-seeded Oregon (29-2) in the semifinals Saturday at 7 p.m.
In a season full of firsts, the Wildcats (24-6) are playing in the semis for the first time since 2011.
