Deandre Ayton did it all offensively, but it was his momentum-changing pass to Rawle Alkins that gave Arizona its second straight Pac-12 men’s tournament title Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena.

Senior guard Zach Lofton scored a game-high 23 points in New Mexico State’s 72-58 win over Grand Canyon on Saturday night at Orleans Arena.
The Anteaters have gone under in 15 of their past 20 games, and the Titans have gone under in three straight and 11 of 14 (11-2-1).
Trey Kell scored a career-high 28 points to lead San Diego State to an 82-75 victory over New Mexico in the Mountain West championship game Saturday at the Thomas & Mack Center.
The Redhawks defeated Cal State Bakersfield 57-54 on Saturday at Orleans Arena to win the Western Athletic Conference basketball tournament.
Southern California is on a 15-2-1 under streak, and Arizona is on a 7-2 under run.
It wasn’t a good season for head college basketball coaches with Las Vegas ties. Two got fired. One almost got into a fight because of it.
The madness continues across the Las Vegas valley as teams from the Pac-12, Mountain West and Western Athletic Conference look to punch their tickets to the Big Dance.
Deandre Ayton, the potential No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, scored a career-high 32 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in the Wildcats’ 78-67 overtime victory over UCLA before an announced crowd of 16,596 at T-Mobile Arena.
San Diego State beat top-seeded and 22nd-ranked UNR for the second time in six days, but nobody could have predicted the ease with which it won.
The Antelopes are one win away from their first Division I NCAA tournament appearance.
UCLA fell to Arizona 78-67 in overtime, but the team that took the Wildcats to an extra five minutes can absolutely win games when the madness commences next week.
Crowds are so sparse that the future of the Mountain West tournament in Las Vegas is in question. The conference considered moving the event to San Diego or Phoenix in 2020, but extended the agreement with Las Vegas an extra year.
A’Shanti Coleman’s putback at the buzzer gave Boise State a 62-60 victory over UNR in the Mountain West women’s basketball championship game and an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament.
The Madness is truly getting underway in Las Vegas as the Mountain West, Western Athletic and Pac-12 conference tournaments have started. Review-Journal reporters are on-scene for all of it.
