Huskies End Ducks' Tournament Run, 69-51
03/12/11 | Men's Basketball
LOS ANGELES (AP) - C.J. Wilcox scored 14 points, freshman Terrence Ross had 13 in his second career start, and Washington finally shook Oregon to advance to the Pac-10 tournament title game with a 69-51 victory Friday night.
Isaiah Thomas had 10 points and 12 assists for the third-seeded Huskies, who will attempt to defend their 2010 tournament title against top-seeded Arizona on Saturday at Staples Center.
The Huskies (22-10) led throughout the final 37 minutes with balanced offense and a tough zone defense, but they didn't pull away until scoring eight consecutive points down the stretch, a rally highlighted by Wilcox's four-point play with 3:58 to go. Washington finished the game on a 14-4 run.
Joevan Catron had 18 points and nine rebounds for seventh-seeded Oregon (16-17), which finally ran out of steam in its third game in three nights.
