-

Dillon Brooks had 25 points and No. 6 Oregon earned a share of the Pac-12 Conference regular-season title with an 80-59 victory over Oregon State on Saturday at Corvallis, Ore.

Jordan Bell added 13 points and 10 rebounds for Oregon. It was the second straight season that the Ducks have finished atop the league, and sixth time overall.

Oregon shares the title with No. 7 Arizona, which also finished 16-2 in conference play. Because the Ducks routed the Wildcats, 85-58, on Feb. 4 at home, Oregon gets the top seed at the Pac-12 tournament next week.

Drew Eubanks had 21 points and 12 rebounds for Oregon State, which trailed by as many as 25 while the Ducks pulled away in the second half.

No. 7 Arizona 73, at Arizona State 60: Allonzo Trier scored 19 points, guard Rawle Alkins grabbed 15 rebounds and the Wildcats shut down the Sun Devils in the second half.

Arizona controlled the glass for the second straight game against Arizona State, grabbing 23 more rebounds while scoring 14 secondchan­ce points on 15 offensive boards.

Kodi Justice led the Sun Devils with 17 points.

at Utah 67, Stanford 59: Lorenzo Bonam had a career-high 26 points and the Utes, who will be the No. 4 seed in the Pac-12 tournament, used a 14-2 run late in the game to take an eightpoint lead.

Dorian Pickens paced Stanford with 20 points.

at Colorado 54, California 46: Derrick White made a turnaround three-pointer with 20.6 seconds left and finished with 17 points, helping the Buffaloes fend off California. Ivan Rabb had 11 points and 13 rebounds for the Golden Bears, who’ve lost five of their last six.
