Pac-12 Tournament: Arizona overcomes Stanford’s 3-point shooting, Kerr Kriisa injury to advance and avenge another loss

Beating Arizona twice in a row continues to be something no one can do.

The second-seeded Wildcats earned another revenge win, atoning for that loss in Palo Alto a month ago by dominating in the paint while also withstanding another 3-point barrage from Stanford in a 95-84 victory in the Pac-12 Tournament quarterfinals Thursday night at T-Mobile Arena.

Defending conference tourney champ Arizona (26-6) will face either No. 3 USC or No. 6 ASU in the semifinals on Friday night.

The UA outscored the 10th-seeded Cardinal 54-22 in the paint, a complete reversal of the previous meeting when Stanford won the paint battle 42-24 and shot 61.
