SALT LAKE CITY – Oregon used a fourth-quarter run to break open a tight game going into the final 10 minutes in a 73-65 win at Utah in the regular season finale Saturday.
With the win, the Ducks locked up the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye in next week's Pac-12 Tournament by finishing the season 11-6 in conference play. UO will take on the winner of UCLA and USC in a quarterfinal matchup on Thursday at 6 p.m. in Las Vegas.
"We talked yesterday about how this game is hugely important to us," said head coach Kelly Graves.
