The Wildcats shot a sweet 50-percent clip from both the field (28-of-56) and the three-point line (10-of-20) to upset the No. 3 Bruins, 86-75.<\/p>\n<p>Arizona&#8217;s biggest stars, Lauri Markkanen and Allonzo Trier, scored over half of the team&#8217;s points in the victory. Markkanen&#8217;s 29 points was one shy of a career high, while Trier chipped in with 20 points of his own.<\/p>\n<p>But in spite of their torrid shooting performance and UCLA&#8217;s Lonzo Ball not at the top of his game (eight points on 2-of-7 shooting), the Wildcats made just 20 of their 32 shots from the charity stripe to have the struggling Bruins hang around for most of the contest.<\/p>\n<p>The Pac-12&#8217;s co-champions of the regular season will meet their other half this Sunday when they take on the top-seeded Ducks. Arizona must find a way to light up the scoreboard again against Oregon&#8217;s imposing\u00a0defense, and that&#8217;s really easier said than done (more on that below). Then again, the Wildcats\u00a0blew away\u00a0the Ducks, 80-52, in the 2015 conference title game, so they definitely have big-game experience just as much as their rivals heading into the weekend.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on the Oregon Ducks\u00a0(29-4, 16-2 Pac-12)<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/ncaa-mens\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Point Spread: -2<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Make that three-consecutive Pac-12 Tournament finals appearances for the No. 5 Oregon Ducks, who convincingly beat the California Golden Bears in Friday&#8217;s semifinal clash, 73-65.<\/p>\n<p>Oregon standout Dillon Brooks finished with a humble 10 points and six rebounds due to foul trouble early in the second half, but the team got huge boosts from a couple of other key players. Sophomore Tyler Dorsey scored 23 points on 5-of-6 shooting from downtown, while senior Dylan Ennis had 16 points and made all nine of his free-throw attempts.<\/p>\n<p>And\u00a0although forward Jordan Bell had just six points in Friday&#8217;s contest, he truly embodied what Oregon&#8217;s all about this season with his 15 rebounds and five huge blocks. The Ducks, the nation&#8217;s leader in blocks during the regular season, just broke their own school record for blocks in a single season with 223, and are just one shy of setting a new Pac-12 record as well.<\/p>\n<p>Given Arizona&#8217;s fantastic shooting performance against UCLA, though, the Ducks may find it tougher to contain their fellow regular-season champions this Sunday. Then again, they&#8217;ve pretty much owned them these past couple of seasons. Oregon won the last three head-to-head meetings against the Wildcats, which includes last month&#8217;s game that saw the team knock down 16 three-pointers en route to an 85-58 beat-down.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Oregon (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/ncaa-mens\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>-2<\/strong><\/a>)\u00a0wins its second
