It looked like the Oregon State Beavers were on their way to pulling another upset in the Pac-12 Tournament at the end of the first half, but the Arizona Wildcats started the second guns blazing and eventually pulled away. The Beavers took a seven-point lead into the break, but Sean Miller's team went on a 20-3 run to start the second half, eventually coasting to a 70-61 victory.
Oregon State Vs. Arizona Final Score: Wildcats Win 72-61 After Great Second Half Performance
Devon Collier, Roberto Nelson and Jared Cunningham did plenty on the offensive end for the Beavers, but they got very little help and they struggled as a team defensively in the second half. Arizona's Kyle Fogg had an excellent game, leading all scorers with 22 points. Arizona shot 9-18 from three-point range and did an excellent job of cleaning up on the boards when Oregon State began to miss shots in the second half.
Arizona will play in Saturday's Pac-12 tournament final and they await the winner of the late game between the Colorado Buffaloes and the California Golden Bears.
