COL BKB: Pac-12 Roundup

LAS VEGAS, March 16 (UPI) -- Kyle Anderson's layup off an offensive rebound with 24 seconds left Friday launched No. 25 UCLA into the Pacific-12 finals with a 66-64 decision over Arizona.

The Bruins fought back from a 10-point, second-half deficit, but the win was tempered by the loss of Jordan Adams in the game's final seconds.

Adams, who scored 24 points to lead UCLA, suffered a broken right foot that is expected to keep him out of post-season play.

UCLA will meet Oregon in the championship match on Saturday after the Ducks coasted past Utah 64-45.

It was a missed 3-point attempt by Adams that led to Anderson's rebound and layup for the winning points. The Bruins then survived a missed jumper by Solomon Hill and another miss by Grant Jarrett after he had grabbed the offensive rebound.

UCLA improved to 25-8 and will try to add the conference tournament title to the regular-season crown they won this year.

No. 18 Arizona dropped to 25-8.

Oregon limited Utah to 15 first-half points and coasted to a win that set up a third and deciding game against the Bruins this season. The Ducks and Bruins each won on their own court during the regular season.
