Pac-12 men’s tournament
Tyler Dorsey sank a pair of free throws with 32-seconds remaining, then Elgin Cook added two more 20-seconds later and number one seed Oregon held on for an 83-77 win over the Washington Huskies yesterday in Las Vegas. Cook and Chris Boucher (boo-shay) each scored 19 points, Dorsey had 17 and Dillon Brooks had 15 for Oregon. The win set up a rematch with Arizona in one semi-final of the Pac-12 Men’s tournament. The Wildcats held off Colorado, 82-78, last night.
The Cal Bears held off Oregon State late last night, 76-68 to advance to the late semifinal tonight against Utah. The Beavers managed to keep it close despite playing without their second-leading scorer, Tres Tinkle, who suffered a right foot injury last week during practice. One reason was Derrick Bruce… the “shifty” freshman guard unloaded with a career high 25 points. Gary Payton II had 20 points and 16 rebounds.

Oregon State is at home this weekend for a three game series against San Francisco. Right handed pitcher Jake Thompson, from Siuslaw, is scheduled to get the start in tomorrow’s game.
