FINAL: Arizona drops semifinal to Oregon 95-89 in OT, awaits Selection Sunday

LAS VEGAS — Oregon stepped into McKale Center on Jan. 28 and snapped the Wildcats 49-game home winning streak.

On Saturday night, the Wildcats failed to defend McKale North.

No. 4 seed Arizona fell to No.1 Oregon 95-89 in the semifinal game of the Pac-12 Tournament Friday night in a thrilling game that saw Arizona erase a 15-point deficit to send the game into the extra period.

Dwayne Benjamin and Dillon Brooks hit big 3-pointers in overtime and the Ducks earned revenge on the team who beat them in last year’s conference championship game.
