Follow along for live updates on Friday from the Pac-12 tournament in Las Vegas. Jaime Jaquez Jr. scored 19 points, Jules Bernard added 15 as No. 13 UCLA beat No. 21 USC 69-59 on Friday night in the Pac-12 semifinals. The Bruins are headed to the Pac-12 Tournament championship game, where they will play No. 1 seed Arizona. The last time UCLA won the conference tournament title was back in 2014.

UCLA made an unexpected run to the Final Four a year ago by, in large part, clamping down on defense. That same defense was in full force on Friday night in Las Vegas as USC was held to 9-of-29 shooting in the first half.

Arizona, the heavy favorite to win the Pac-12 Tournament, barely even made it to the semifinals. The Wildcats managed to beat Stanford by an 84-80 final score in a game that was largely a back-and-forth affair — though Arizona managed to shoot 50.9 percent from the field, Stanford kept it close thanks to a high 47.5 percent field-goal rate of its own.

Colorado got the best of Oregon on Thursday, advancing to the semifinals after winning by an 80-69 final. UCLA, much like Colorado, hardly had much of a problem in its quarterfinal matchup against Washington State, as the Bruins won 75-65.

Here’s a look at the full Pac-12 Tournament schedule, complete with results up to Friday’s semifinals:

Game 11: No. 1 Arizona vs. No. 2 UCLA , 9 p.m. – FOX

Arizona 82, Colorado 72

No. 1 seed Arizona has made it to the Pac-12 Tournament championship game, picking up an 82-72 win over No. 4 seed Colorado in the first game of Friday night’s doubleheader.

Playing without Kerr Kriisa, who showed up to the arena with crutches, the Wildcats were led by Azuolas Tubelis, who finished the game with 20 points and 11 rebounds for the double-double. Arizona continues to build its case for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and a win in Saturday’s Pac-12 title game should be enough. Justin Kier added in 13 points while dishing out three rebounds. The Wildcats jumped out to a 47-38 lead at the half and then held off a comeback-minded Colorado. They now await the winner of USC and UCLA.
