The UCLA Bruins advanced to the Pac-12 Tournament final with a thrilling 66-64 semifinal victory over the Arizona Wildcats on Friday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. A quick breakdown:
How it happened: Jordan Adams scored 15 of UCLA’s final 21 points, including 13 in a row at one point, as the Bruins (25-8) erased an 11-point deficit in the final 10:24. With the Bruins clinging to a 62-61 lead, Adams stripped the ball from Arizona’s Mark Lyons, then was fouled and made a pair of free throws to give the Bruins a 64-61 lead with 1:13 to play.
Grant Jerrett drilled a 3-point basket to tie the game at 64 with 55 seconds to play. Adams tried to answer, but his 3-pointer missed. Kyle Anderson came up with a huge offensive rebound and putback for a two-point lead with 22 seconds to play. Solomon Hill missed a shot as time wound down, and UCLA hung on for its third victory in three tries over the Wildcats (25-7) this season.
The Wildcats, who threatened to run away from the Bruins several times, opened a 49-38 lead with 10:24 to play, thanks in large part to cold shooting by the Bruins. UCLA missed their first six shots of the second half and could not prevent Lyons from penetrating for layups or passes to set up easy shots. Adams caught fire from there, however, making five of his last seven shots and going 6-of-6 from the free throw line in the last 9:56.
During the first half, Arizona went on a tear from long range, making 3-point baskets on three consecutive possessions to open a 26-18 lead with 5:18 before intermission. But UCLA stayed close as Adams made four free throws and Travis Wear scored on an alley-oop from Kyle Anderson. The Bruins cut Arizona’s lead to 30-26 by halftime.
Player of the game: Adams had a game-high 24 points, including 16 in the second half, providing most of the offense for a team that was struggling to score for most of the game.
Stat of the game: The Bruins became the first team this season to win a game against Arizona when scoring fewer than 70 points. The Wildcats had been 23-0 when holding opponents under 70.
What it means: UCLA has a chance to win its first conference tournament title since 2008 and got a nice addition to its NCAA Tournament résumé by thrice defeating Arizona, which has the highest RPI of any team in the conference. The Bruins are hoping for a seeding that puts them in a pod out West for the national tourney; this victory should help those chances.
What’s next: The Bruins advance to the conference tournament final for the first time since winning it all in 2008. The Wildcats will have Saturday off and await their NCAA tournament fate to be handed out on Selection Sunday.

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Freshman Jordan Adams carried UCLA into the Pac-12 championship game.
Now the Bruins will have to carry on without him.
Adams scored 18 of his 24 points in the second half before breaking his right foot on the game's final play, helping No. 21 UCLA beat No. 18 Arizona for the third time this season, a 66-64 victory Friday night that sends the Bruins to the Pac-12 tournament title game.
Adams, UCLA's second-leading scorer at 15.2 points per game, limped off the floor after Arizona's final shot attempt and x-rays showed a broke fifth metatarsal, putting a damper on UCLA's win and the rest of its postseason.
''The very last play of the game when they were shooting, somehow he came down and tweaked his foot,'' UCLA coach Ben Howland said.
Ditching their new pajama-like uniforms for the more traditional white with blue and yellow trim, the Bruins (25-8) fought back from an 11-point second-half deficit after pulling off a similar rally against Arizona State in the quarterfinals. Adams triggered it, scoring 17 points in the final 9:57, including 15 straight during one stretch.
Kyle Anderson put UCLA in front on a putback with 22 seconds left and Arizona's Solomon Hill missed a midrange jumper, sending the Bruins into Saturday night's title game against Oregon.
''The leaders on our team stressed to the five guys that are out there that we have to stay calm, being down 11 or 9 or whatever it was,'' said Anderson, who had 10 points. ''I think that's what we did a really good job of and we were able to fight back for a second time and end up with the win.''
Arizona (25-7) was effective in slowing down Shabazz Muhammad and Larry Drew II, but had no answer for Adams once he got going in the second half.
Muhammad finished with 11 points on 4-of-11 shooting after a quiet first half and Drew went scoreless after missing all five of his shots.
Adams made up for it, hitting 6 of 13 shots and 11 of 13 from the free-throw line for the Pac-12 regular-season champs in an entertaining game at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Brandon Ashley had 15 points, Mark Lyons added 13 and Kaleb Tarczewski had 13 rebounds for the Wildcats, who had already been assured a spot in the NCAA tournament, but could drop a few seeds after a late-season slide and the loss to UCLA.
''I don't know what seed we're going to get,'' Arizona coach Sean Miller sad. ''We played well from start to finish and we lost. It's hard when you lose to a team three times.''
UCLA beat Arizona twice during the regular season, 84-73 in Tucson and 74-69 at home for its first season sweep of the Wildcats since 2007-08.
UCLA got off to a slow start in its opening game of the Pac-12 tournament, rallying from a 15-point deficit to beat Arizona State 80-75 in the quarterfinals.
Arizona built a 14-point lead in its opener, but couldn't shake Colorado until late for a 79-69 win.
After the quarterfinal win, the Wildcats said they were looking forward to get a chance for revenge against the Bruins.
They played with an extra intensity, too, particularly on defense, cutting off lanes, knocking UCLA's players to the floor with hard fouls.
Hounded by Nick Johnson, Drew had trouble getting into the lane, where he does his most damage, and missed all three of his shots - with one assist - in a scoreless first half.
''We picked Larry Drew up much closer to the basket and I thought that helped our entire team, not just the guy guarding him,'' Miller said.
The Wildcats, led by Hill, also kept Muhammad from breaking loose.
The freshman swingman had a slow start against Arizona State in the quarterfinals before taking over during a key stretch in the second half and struggled early against Arizona, scoring 2 points while making 1 of his 4 shots.
''Everybody's dialed in on Shabazz. God bless him,'' Howland said. ''He's seeing the best team's defender night in and night out, and they're really coming after him
UCLA missed all five of its 3-point attempts in the first half and shot 11 of 32 with just two assists.
Arizona led 30-26 at halftime and tried to pull away from the Bruins to start the second half.
With Drew and Muhammad still unable to shake their shadows, UCLA missed its first five shots and Arizona stretched the lead to 49-38 midway through.
But, just like he did against the Sun Devils, Muhammad started to come alive, scoring on a layup and on a three-point play as part of a 9-0 run that pulled the Bruins within 49-47.
Then it was Adams' turn. He matched the Wildcats by himself in a back-and-forth game, scoring 15 straight points in a little over 5 minutes to put UCLA ahead.
Arizona couldn't stop Adams and became frustrated with the officiating - Miller received his first technical foul of the season - and let the game slip away.
The Wildcats attempted nine free throws and made seven while UCLA went 17 of 21 from the line.
''We let the refs dictate our play in the second half and our tempo,'' Hill said. ''When you start getting down on the refs and try to argue with the refs, you kind of lose focus on the team goals and what we want to do out there. ''

Adams' hot hand sends UCLA into Pac-12 title game

LAS VEGAS — Like a pot of water simmering on a stove, Sean Miller's anger slowly rose to a boil.
The more the Arizona coach spoke about his technical foul during the final five minutes of the Wildcats' 66-64 Pac-12 semifinal loss to UCLA, the more furious Miller became that the call provided the Bruins two all-important points.
Referees assessed the technical to Miller during Friday night's game when he disputed a double dribble called on Mark Lyons for losing control of the ball before re-gathering possession.
It was Miller's contention that UCLA's Jordan Adams knocked the ball away, which would have negated the double dribble call and let Arizona to keep possession up two with 4:37 to play. TV replays seemed to show Miller was correct that Adams swiped at the ball, but UCLA instead got possession and two technical foul shots, both of which Adams hit to tie the score at 56.
"I told our team after the game, that's all completely on me," Miller began unprompted in the opening minute of his postgame news conference. "If you're the coach of the team and you get a technical in that situation, that's completely unacceptable. They made both free throws, hence the difference in the game.
"That's a hard one, man, when you work August, September, October, November, December, January, February," Miller continued, before pointing at senior Solomon Hill to his right at the podium. "My man over here? He's never coming back here again.
"It's just difficult, man, when you invest hundreds of hours, in Solomon's case, thousands of hours. If I cuss, and I'm out of control and I've been warned, then shame on me. But when I say, 'He touched the ball, he touched the ball,' because quite frankly I thought two of them maybe could have gotten together and say, 'Maybe he did touch the ball.' That's what I was hoping for. That technical right there is hard to swallow. When you lose by two and you gave them two, and you're the coach, you have to take that burden and I got that with me."
Miller's technical foul added to Arizona's frustration after a third loss to UCLA in the past two months. The Wildcats led by as many as 11 points in the second half, but they let UCLA freshmanJordan Adams spark a late comeback.
Though Arizona still had plenty of chances to overcome the gift two points considering the game was tied with almost five minutes to go, Miller is certainly correct that the call was a big one in a game that tight. Furthermore, reporters who witnessed the exchange that led to the technical confirmed that Miller was the victim of a quick whistle.
At the end of the press conference, a reporter asked Miller and Hill what they learned from the loss.
"You've got to stay in the coaching box," a sarcastic Miller deadpanned. "And you've got to be real, real careful as the coach what you say. That's what I've learned."
Then after Hill answered the question in a more earnest fashion, Miller hilariously stated the obvious.
"You can see what a great leader Solomon is," he said. "He's much more poised than me right now."

LAS VEGAS -- UCLA's chances of a deep NCAA tournament run took a major hit Friday when second-leading scorer Jordan Adams was lost for the season with a broken bone in his right foot.
Adams' injury occurred on the final play of the Bruins' 66-64 victory over Arizona in the semifinals of the Pac-12 tournament on Friday night. Adams, who scored a team-high 24 points, was among the players trying to defend a potential game-tying shot by Wildcats forward Solomon Hill as time expired.
King: Bruins lose catalyst Adams
UCLA's joy over advancing to the Pac-12 tournament final turned into anger and even tears when the Bruins learned Jordan Adams was lost for the season, Jason King writes.Blog
Adams, a 6-foot-5 freshman guard, didn't seem seriously injured as the final buzzer sounded. He hobbled through the handshake line and then retreated to the locker for X-rays. Within a half hour, it was announced that Adams had broken the fifth metatarsal in his right foot.
The news was devastating to Adams' teammates, who within seconds went from being on an emotional high after Friday's come-from-behind win, to downright distraught. Point guard Larry Drew II had tears streaming down his face as he spoke with reporters.
"It's been hard for us all year, with the transfers and the little nagging injuries and now this," Drew II said. "It's tough. But there's something about this team. We find ways to make things happen when it seems like all is lost."
The Bruins (25-8) have proven resilient time and time again this season. They bounced back from an early-season loss to Cal Poly and the transfer of two players (Josh Smith and Tyler Lamb) to win the Pac-12 regular-season championship. Now the Bruins are one win away from claiming the Pac-12 tournament title.
Ben Howland's squad will face Oregon for the tournament title on Saturday. Backup Norman Powell, who averages six points and two rebounds, is expected to fill in for Adams.
"I just know we've got tough guys out there -- physically and mentally and psychologically," freshman guard Kyle Anderson said. "Norman Powell is a really tough player. It's a terrible loss, but it's not as bad knowing that we've got him coming in to fill that spot.
"It's going to be tough to go without him, but it's all part of handling adversity, and that's something we've shown we're pretty good at."

UCLA wins game but loses Adams for season
The freshman scores 24 points to spark a Pac-12 semifinal victory over Arizona, but breaks his foot on the final play.
LAS VEGAS – A dark curtain swung in front of the small UCLA locker room at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, as an expressionless Ben Howland walked in, forced to be the bearer of bad news.
The locker room was supposed to be alive with the Bruins' hopes of a Pac-12 Tournament title. Just moments before, UCLA had wrapped up a second-consecutive second-half comeback, this time surmounting an 11-point deficit with 10 minutes remaining and beating Arizona, 66-64.

But as the curtain swung open and the Bruins coach emerged, a somber tone befell the room. What was meant to be a celebration had in an instant become more like a funeral.
Less than an hour before Howland brought news to his team that freshman Jordan Adams would miss the rest of the season because of a broken foot he suffered on the game's final play, Adams had found a zone on the floor that few Bruins players – or any player, really – had found all season. For a stretch in the game's most important moments, Adams scored 13 in a row and singlehandedly swung the momentum as he took over the game.
Through the second half, Adams was an artist in the middle of painting his masterpiece, driving aggressively to the hoop and drawing foul after foul. When it was all over, Adams had shot four more free throws (13) than the entire Wildcats team. He knocked down key mid-range jumpers, going 5 for 8 from inside the arc, and in perhaps the most important moment of the game, up two points with 1:13 remaining, Adams knocked the ball carefully out of Arizona point guard Mark Lyons' hands, broke away, and drew yet another foul.
He'd finish with 24 points in his piece de resistance performance on the night of what would ultimately – and unknowingly at the time – be the final game of his impressive freshman season.
"He really had it going," Howland said.
And so did his Bruins, who will play Oregon, a 64-45 winner over Utah in the night's other semifinal, for the Pac-12 Tournament title Saturday night. But the optimism of its first tournament title since 2009 had already faded away as Howland emerged from the brief meeting with his team.
He had told them that Friday's postgame would be without celebration – the news of the Bruins' loss deflating the mood from one of UCLA's most important victories of the season. UCLA players throughout the locker room hung their head in a mix of shock and disappointment. Senior point guard Larry Drew II sobbed in front of reporters as they asked him whether this team could possibly find its potential without Adams, who had been such a key cog in the Bruins' offense all season long.
Fellow freshman Shabazz Muhammad looked ahead just a few feet away from Drew and spoke softly as he answered the same questions. Likely a one-and-done player, Muhammad, like Drew, wouldn't play again with Adams – a reality that had just begun to sink in.
"I don't know what we're going to do," Muhammad said. "This is bad for us. We're going to the tournament, and we were feeling really confident. This is terrible."
Muhammad's early struggles in the game had opened the door for Adams to excel with Arizona's defense locked in on the Bruins' leading scorer from the opening tip. He finished with 11 points, but his role was a supporting one, as Adams was the undoubted star of the show.
Adams has long flown under the radar, because of the high profile of his freshmen teammates, all three of which were ranked significantly higher than Adams before coming to Westwood. But all season long, Adams has undeniably been the most consistent of the group, leading the Pac-12 in steals during conference play and scoring the eighth-most points of any player in the conference.
Without him, the Bruins will be forced to navigate the postseason with, essentially, a six-man rotation – a nightmare situation for Howland, who has been wary all season of putting his players in any situation that could result in dissolving the little depth that UCLA has had since Josh Smith and Tyler Lamb left the team.
But the Bruins will soldier on with an opportunity to wrap up a Pac-12 title tonight. But as the somber atmosphere of the locker room filled more and more with welled-up eyes and worry of where their season could possibly head now, the curtain swung shut for the night, leaving questions of whether UCLA will ever truly recover for an encore.
"Just everything we've been through all season," Drew said, struggling to get out the words, "it seems like we can't get a break."

LAS VEGAS — Jordan Adams, the UCLA freshman few talked about last summer, will be water cooler chatter this morning. The tone of the conversation will vary.
There will be upbeat, did-you-see-that talk about Adams, who scored 11 points in the last six minutes to bring the Bruins from behind in a 66-64 victory over Arizona in a Pac-12 tournament semifinal Friday.
There will be the downcast can-you-believe-it remorse about Adams, who broke his right foot on the game's last play and is lost for the season.
Solomon Hill missed a jumper with five seconds left and the clock ran out in the scramble for the ball. That sent the Bruins rushing the court at MGM Garden Arena in celebration . . . except for Adams.
He hobbled past the Arizona bench, then doubled over in pain.
"My foot rolled when I landed," Adams, UCLA's second-leading scorer this season, said before being taken for X-rays. "It just hurt."
The separation pain will hit the Bruins on Saturday, when they play Oregon in the tournament final. The Ducks defeated Utah, 64-45, Friday night.
"We're not going to celebrate this win, one of our family got hurt," guard Norman Powell said. "We'll move on to the next game."
That the Bruins moved into the next game because of Adams, who was a human defibrillator. He scored 24 points, 16 in the second half.
"I knew Jordan was that dude when I first him watched play in the summer," guard Larry Drew IIsaid.
Most only mentioned him in passing when talking about the nation's No. 2-ranked recruiting class. Adams was shunned by postseason high school all-star games and heard people ask about fellow UCLA freshmen Kyle Anderson and Shabazz Muhammad.
"I know about that, people talking about what you can and cannot do, not being as heralded as other guys," Drew said. "That's just talk. Come out on the court and play."
Adams did, with a six-minute burst that gave the Bruins a third victory over Arizona this season, an impressive sweep with Coach Ben Howland's job on the line.
How big was the victory? Athletic Director Dan Guerrero and Associate Athletic Director Mark Harlan came to the locker room afterward.
A week ago, Guerrero was behind the bench at Washington when the Bruins clinched the conference championship. He did not come to the locker room after that game.
Those are intrigues going on floors above UCLA's players. Their concerns were ground level Friday.
UCLA (25-8) was shouted down from the start Friday. The only thing neutral about this court was its tan color, as "U of A" chants were called out more frequently than Keno numbers.
The Wildcats (25-7) rode that emotion into the second half, leading by as many as 11 points.
"It didn't feel like Las Vegas. It felt like Tucson," Muhammad said.
Said Adams: "They can cheer all they want to now. I'm just happy we beat them."
Adams handled that. With Arizona leading, 53-49, he scored 11 consecutive points for UCLA, starting with a steal and layup.
Adams closed his run by picking clean Arizona's Mark Lyons, and was fouled on the other end. He made both free throws for a 64-61 lead.
"I was waiting for him to do a crossover dribble," Adams said. "New York guys love that crossover."
Even Adams' missed shots paid off. His three-point try came off the rim. Anderson was there for the rebound and layup, giving UCLA a 66-64 lead with 23 seconds left.
"We won because of Jordan," Drew said.
Now they have to try to win without him.
Ducks advance
Damyean Dotson and E.J. Singler scored 14 points each for third-seeded Oregon, which raced away from Utah early and rolled to 64-45 win in the other semifinal.
The Ducks (25-8) had their regular-season conference title hopes spoiled by the Utes (15-18) last weekend but gave them no chance of a repeat upset Friday.
The third-seeded Ducks built a 14-point lead in the first half and kept the cushion near double figures the rest of the way to earn a spot in tonight's title game.

Jordan Adams' worst moment comes after best game

LAS VEGAS — This could only happen in this town, at this moment, to this dramatic, desperate, dancing-with-doom UCLA basketball team.
This was a disillusioned gambler finally accumulating a chin-high pile of chips, daring to smile, then promptly crapping out.
As the final buzzer sounded in the Bruins' roaring 66-64 comeback victory over Arizona in the semifinals of the Pac-12 tournament at the MGM Grand Garden Arena Friday, the most important player on the floor apparently leaped in celebration.
Only UCLA's Jordan Adams wasn't celebrating. He was agonizing. On the game's final play, a Wildcat had stepped on his right foot and Adams was hopping around in pain.
Adams was able to stand through postgame interviews. His teammates felt confident enough to talk about how he carried them on his young but broad shoulders. Everyone waxed about the Bruins' relentless revival and what it all might mean for next week's madness. The locker rooms emptied with players and coaches streaming into the adjoining casino for an appropriately celebratory walk through its echoing ka-chings.
At which point, back at the arena, solemn UCLA officials quietly announced that hurried X-rays revealed Adams had suffered a broken fifth metatarsal in his right foot and would be out for the season.
That sound you just heard was Ben Howland's statement upon hearing the news. He was already inthe casino and did not give one. It's just as well. Whatever he said might have been confused with the agonizing shouts of that gentleman wearing sunglasses whose flush was just beaten with a full house.
Can the Bruins keep winning without Adams? Well, on Friday, they couldn't win without him, as he led them back from an 11-point deficit with 18 second-half points while making seven of eight free throws down the stretch.
"He has that knack for making the big play when we need it, and he did it again tonight," point guardLarry Drew II said. "Seriously, I'm going to go watch some Jordan Adams video to see how he does this stuff."
Ironically, on a night when he took the season's biggest fall, Adams' most impressive feat was just standing up. The favored, physical Wildcats knocked him to the floor, knocked him into photographers, bounced him everywhere but out.
"Did you see how he just kept getting up?" Drew said. "He was tough as nails, giving up his body for the team."
Sadly, it turns out, that's exactly what happened, the Bruins losing their best defender and free-throw shooter, and are there any two more important categories in March college basketball than defense and foul shots?
Oh yeah, he's also their second-leading scorer.
It will be a chore for the Bruins to survive Saturday's tournament championship game againstOregon without Adams, and they could still win a first-round NCAA tournament game next weekend.
But the loss of Adams probably means losing a reasonable chance of advancing to the Sweet 16, which would probably mean the end of Ben Howland's career.
It's now going to take a whole lot of some of the stuff they found Friday night to save it.
In front of a screaming, hostile crowd that was 80% Arizona fans, UCLA quieted the room with the same calm resilience that helped them to a 15-point comeback against Arizona State the previous day.
"Another fantastic win," Howland said. "They never quit, they never give up, they never stop believing in themselves, they show so much mental toughness. We get into close games, we've got a great shot at winning those games."
Better than a great chance, actually, as the Bruins are 9-1 in games decided in the last two minutes.
On Friday they did what they have previously done in those situations. They complemented their glitzy talent with neighborhood fundamentals.
"We have a lot of great players on this team who aren't used to losing and who are refusing to lose now," Travis Wear said.
The Bruins were outrebounded like always, but in the final five minutes they started banging back, so upsetting Arizona Coach Sean Miller that he received a technical foul with 4:37 remaining. Adams made both free throws to tie the score and the Bruins mixed brute force and basics to make sure they only momentarily trailed again.
Kyle Anderson stood in front of a charging Solomon Hill to thwart him on a layup attempt. Shabazz Muhammad drew a foul fighting for an offensive rebound. Drew penetrated to set up a Wear dunk attempt that resulted in two more free throws. Anderson shoved aside some Wildcats to follow an Adams miss with the final points to clinch it.
It was dirty work. It was desperate work. With Adams now gone, it is the only way the rest of this season can work.
