While top seeds in other tournaments went down on Friday, that wasn’t the case in the Pac-12. No. 1 Arizona and No. 2 UCLA both handled their business to advance to the championship Friday night.
The Wildcats used a 47-point first half to take down No. 4 Colorado, 82–72, doing so without star point guard Kerr Kriisa. It was Arizona’s revenge after the Buffaloes upset them in Colorado just a few weeks ago.
On the other side of the bracket. The Bruins won the battle of Los Angeles, defeating No. 3 USC, 69–59. It was their second win over the Trojans in a week and brings them back to the championship game for the first time since 2014.
