No. 8 Ducks get past No. 15 Arizona, 95-89, for berth in championship.
LAS VEGAS — Elgin Cook scored 22 points and No. 8 Oregon survived a wild closing sequence in regulation to beat No. 15 Arizona 95-89 in overtime Friday night in the Pac-12 semifinals.
Oregon (27-6) led by 17 early in the second half, but Arizona (25-8) charged back and tied it in improbable fashion.
Oregon’s Chris Boucher missed two free throws with 12 seconds left, and Arizona’s Gabe York followed with a three-pointer after gathering a rebound. Mark Tollefsen stole the inbound pass and was fouled, but hit just 1 of 2 free throws to send the game to overtime.
