Ducks Dominate Colorado 75-68 for Pac-12 Title

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Oregon Ducks capped a roller-coaster season with a Pac-12 Tournament title, defeating Colorado 75-68 on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena. The win, their third straight in three nights, earns an NCAA Tournament berth for the first time since 2021. Oregon, finishing 23-11 overall and 12-8 in conference, limited Colorado to 68 points after holding UCLA and Arizona under 70 in prior rounds.

Standout guards led the charge in the final, with free throws sealing the deal down the stretch. The Ducks overcame injuries and defensive inconsistencies that defined their year, building momentum in Las Vegas. Colorado, 24-10 and 13-7 in the Pac-12, fought back but couldn't overcome Oregon's late surge.

In Eugene, fans celebrated the milestone at Matthew Knight Arena, where the Ducks' run revives memories of past Pac-12 hoops glory. This marks Oregon's return to national prominence amid conference realignment talks. Next up: Selection Sunday for NCAA seeding.
