Cal Men Upset By Colorado In Pac-12 Tourney
LOS ANGELES (CBS / AP) -- Carlon Brown scored 17 points, Andre Roberson had 17 points and nine rebounds, and Colorado extended a remarkable run in its first Pac-12 tournament all the way to the final with a 70-59 victory over second-seeded California on Friday night.
Austin Dufault scored 11 of his 15 points in the second half while playing in his school-record 133rd game for the sixth-seeded Buffaloes (22-11), who seized control with a 10-0 run down the stretch.
Brown scored five consecutive points during that run, and Colorado broke open a tight game by limiting the Golden Bears (24-9) to one field goal in an 8 ½-minute span of the second half. Brown punctuated the win with a windmill breakaway dunk with 58 seconds to play.
After beating Cal for the second time in less than two weeks, Colorado will play for the title Saturday against third-seeded Arizona, which eliminated ninth-seeded Oregon State.
