Oregon State (9) vs. Arizona (4) - 9:10 pm ET - Pac-12 Tournament - FSN
Up four with the ball twice in the final three minutes, Northwestern (18-13) went scoreless the rest of regulation and in an agonizing overtime were doubled up by Minnesota at the Big 10 Tournament. The 75-68 defeat likely ruins the Wildcats' hopes for an NCAA Tournament at-large entry.
If you had Oregon State (19-13) as the last member of the Carril Cradle still playing come Friday, please raise your hand.

Robinson said this result might be the biggest win he's had, including his playing days.
The career of Doug Davis and Princeton's season are both on hold, but the Tigers certainly finished strong.

Down by double digits for most of the night, Northwestern (17-12) staged a ferocious rally against #10 Ohio State.

Jared Sullinger spun inside to put the Buckeyes up once more with three ticks remaining and in his final regular season home game John Shurna's half court shot caught only the front of the rim at the buzzer. It was devastating. The Wildcats were outrebounded 44-18.
