M. Basketball. No. 12 Utah outlasts No. 24 Cal 82-78 in OT

LAS VEGAS (AP) Jakob Poeltl scored 29 points and Lorenzo Bonam dribbled the length of the court to score at the buzzer in regulation, helping No. 12 Utah outlast No. 24 California 82-78 in overtime Friday night in the Pac-12 semifinals.

Cal (23-10) and Utah battled through a calculated, slow-paced game before trading baskets in the final minute of regulation.

Jabari Bird put the third-seeded Bears ahead 70-68 on a three-point play with 4.3 seconds left, but Bonam took the inbound pass and raced up the floor for the tying score.
