Just a gorgeous lob from Caleb Love to Keshad Johnson for an alley-oop slam to give Arizona a 48-25 lead over Oregon with 1:31 left in the half. Wildcats are clicking in every way and dominating the Ducks.

Did Kylan Boswell get his groove back at ASU on Wednesday? He might have gotten his groove back at ASU on Wednesday. A VERY quick 10 points off the bench on 4-of-4 shooting, giving Arizona a 27-12 lead over Oregon with 10:28 left in the first half.
Kylan Boswell is possessed. 10 points on 4-4 shooting and Arizona leads 27-12 as Oregon calls timeout.
Arizona 20, Oregon 12, 11:57 left 1H. Caleb Love has 9 points on 4-of-5 shooting. Wildcats shooting 62% to the Ducks' 38% and outrebounding them 10-4.
With the way Oregon defends, if Arizona is hitting threes, the Ducks are in major trouble. Wildcats leads 20-12 9 minutes into the game.
It appears that Kylan Boswell will sub in for Grant Weitman after the media timeout. Arizona 7, Oregon 7, 15:36 left 1H.
Heck of a four minutes by Grant Weitman. Kylan Boswell checking in after the media timeout. Tied at 7.

It feels not insignificant in this tied game that the Ducks have shot 17 free throws and the Beavers have attempted all of two.
It's tied at 51. Ducks are 13 of 17 at FT line, OSU is 2 of 2 https://t.co/AJqJLr7KTM

FINAL: Arizona 85, ASU 67. Wildcats (22-6, 13-4) sweep the Sun Devils (14-15, 8-10). Next up: Oregon @ McKale Center, noon, Saturday.
Final Arizona 85, Arizona State 67 Adam Miller had 16 Frankie Collins 15 Jose Perez 14 Sun Devils were with 5 points at 7 minute mark.
Arizona is having fun now. Wildcats go up 81-64 as ASU doesn't have a field goal in three minutes and Arizona has made its last four attempts.
Beavers keep fouling, Ducks keep fowling. Oregon flying higher than OSU at halftime: 35-33.
Arizona has made six of its last seven FG attempts. UA 75, ASU 62, 3:05 left.
Arizona up 75-62 and ASU fans are headed out the door with 3:05 left.
7-0 Oregon run. 30-26 Ducks 4:29 1H. Oregon State timeout. https://t.co/rxtKCIpKyq
Arizona 61, ASU 55, 7:02 left. Wildcats have turned the ball over seven times in the second half, 13 in all. Sun Devils have attempted 11 more free throws and made 10 more.
Sun Devils are hanging in, down 61-55, 7:02 to go Kylen Boswell has 17 for Arizona, one off career high but he just picked up fourth foul @SunDevilHoops
Credit where it's due: Kylan Boswell is having a night.
I have no idea whether Oregon State can shoot 77 percent for this entire game (I mean, I have some idea...) but this has been a rip-roaring start to the final Pac-12 matchup between OSU and Oregon.
Now 11 of 14 from the floor OSU 24-18 https://t.co/a0OaKnwIdK
Oregon State 9 of 12 from the floor. Leads Oregon 19-18
Sun Devils playing inspired now, only trail 50-43, that last bucket was by Adam Miller off a nice pass from Gaffney. Miller now has 14, Collins 13 @SunDevilHoops
Oregon State 7 of 10, Oregon 6 of 10
Arizona with 6 teams fouls to ASU's 2. Six minutes into the half. Refs going for the full takeover.

HALFTIME: Arizona 41, ASU 27 FG%: UA 55%, ASU 29% 3FG: UA 4-10, ASU 5-17 Rebounds: UA 24, ASU 15 Points in the paint: UA 24, ASU 6 Kylan Boswell 9 points (4-6 FG) Caleb Love 8 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists KJ Lewis 7 points (3-3 FG), 4 rebounds
Arizona is up 14, but it feels shaky in a way. Wildcats shot 56 percent and ASU 29 percent. ASU probably outplayed Arizona the last 8 minutes or so. First few minutes of second half will be big.
Half Arizona 41, Arizona State 27 UA had led by as many as 18 ASU is 9-31 from field and UA 18-34 Wildcats with 24-15 advantage on boards so score really could be a lto worse. Frankie Collins has 10 to lead all scorers
ASU has decided that if it gets blown out, it won't be because of Oumar Ballo. Throwing multiple players at him every possession.
Arizona up 28-12 and ASU takes timeout. ASU is putting up quick shots and missing. If they keep doing that, they'll lose by 45 again. There's no pace, playing right into Arizona's hands.
Pac-12 refs aren't helping ASU tonight. Can definitely see a T in Bobby Hurley's immediate future.
Shifting gears to basketball ... Arizona 11, ASU 3, 16:18 left 1H Wildcats shooting 4-5 (3-4 from 3)
Arizona up 11-3 early and ASU takes timeout as Bobby Hurley is mad at no foul call. Arizona coming out shooting well, but the shots are also all wide open.

It is a great student turnout for @SunDevilHoops and we're still 20 or so minutes from tipoff
Kind of crazy to think this is the last regular season Pac-12 matchup between Arizona and Arizona State. Last Pac-12 home game for ASU.
