Original Story:
In college basketball Saturday, N’Faly Dante, playing with a bruised tailbone, made all 12 of his shots and scored 25 points, and Oregon secured an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament by defeating Colorado 75-68 Saturday in Las Vegas to end the Pac-12 Conference era.
Fourth-seeded Oregon extended its postseason with the win -- the Ducks weren’t projected to receive an at-large invitation to the 68-team field.
It was the Ducks’ sixth Pac-12 Tournament championship and the first since 2019.
Third-seeded Colorado is expected to receive an at-large bid.
The bracket selection show begins at 3pm Pacific time today.
Dante was named the 2024 Pac-12 Tournament Most Outstanding Player.
