LAS VEGAS -- For the fifth time in Pac-12 Tournament history, the Arizona Wildcats took down the Colorado Buffaloes to advance to the semifinals to take on UCLA.
Allonzo Trier scored a game-high 22 points with only nine shot attempts, after he was told to switch shoes at the beginning of the game. Was it the shoes? It's possible.
Thursday's matchup wasn't an easy task though. As expected, Colorado played chippy and physical. On Wednesday, the Buffs nearly got into an altercation with ASU and on Thursday, CU guard Domonique Collier tripped up Parker Jackson-Cartwright, which caused him to trip and fall. Much like Tad Boyle on Wednesday, Dusan Ristic came to the rescue and confronted several Colorado players and for 30 seconds, was the enforcer Arizona needed.
Deandre Ayton wasn't his normal self and fouled out, the third time all season he's done so. Ayton said after the game that he believes officials target him, because of his size and that they aren't used players like him. Is he right?
Hear what Ayton had to say, along with several former Wildcats.
