Just five minutes remained in this afternoon’s Pac-12 Tournament first-round game between Oregon and Washington, and it all looked so familiar. Oregon was great early, racing to an 11 - 2 lead, but had also suffered through characteristic long periods unable to score the basketball. Oregon’s defense was solid, causing the Huskies to commit several shot-clock violations and shoot under 37 percent from the field. And then, with Washington leading 43 - 38, Endyia Rogers went off. Rogers scored five baskets down the stretch and, combined with a Te-Hina PaoPao 3-pointer and a Chance Gray free throw, it proved to be just enough as Oregon advanced over Washington 52 - 50.
