"It looked as if the game was headed to overtime after Lipsey, who had been 1 for 10 from the field, drilled a 3-pointer from the wing with 15.2 seconds to go. Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd chose not to call a timeout and Bradley calmly walked the ball up the floor, then drove to his right and hit the winner before his teammates jumped from the bench on top of him."
"They traded blows throughout the second half, and at one point, Dell'Orso and Momcilovic traded 3-pointers on four consecutive trips down the floor, sending a Big 12 Tournament single-session record crowd of 19,450 into a frenzy."
"Anthony Dell'Orso matched a career-best with six 3-pointers and scored 26 points for the tournament's top seed. The Wildcats (31-2) advanced to play No. 14 Kansas or fifth-ranked Houston in Saturday night's championship game."
Second-ranked Arizona defeated No. 7 Iowa State 82-80 in the Big 12 tournament semifinals with a dramatic buzzer-beating fall-away jumper by Jaden Bradley. Anthony Dell'Orso led Arizona with 26 points on six 3-pointers, while Ivan Kharchenkov added 17 points. Iowa State's Milan Momcilovic scored 28 points with eight 3-pointers, and Joshua Jefferson contributed 21 points. The game remained competitive throughout, with both teams trading baskets in the second half. Iowa State tied the game at 80 with 15.2 seconds remaining on a Tamin Lipsey 3-pointer, but Bradley's clutch shot secured Arizona's advancement to the championship game.
