Should I go on!

What happened on the basketball court tonight in Las Vegas at the Pac-12 semifinal between the Arizona Wildcats and the Colorado Buffaloes, isn't something you keep quiet about -- especially if you're an Arizona fan.

So, let's tell the world that what happens in Las Vegas, doesn't necessarily stay in Vegas as the Wildcats blow by Colorado 63-43 to advance to the tournament final, set for Saturday at 3 p.m. against UCLA.

The Buffaloes stayed with the Wildcats in the first half and went to the locker room trailing the defensive-minding Wildcats by a score of 27-24.

In the second half, it was all ARIZONA!

The Wildcats (30-3) shoot 60 percent  in the second half and allow the Buffaloes (23-11) to make just five shots in 22 attempts. Arizona connected on 23 of 49 field goal attempts on the night -- including 6 of 17 from three-point range, while limiting Colorado to 29 percent from the field (15 for 51).

Johnson led the Wildcats in scoring with 16 points, while T.J. McConnell and Hollis-Jefferson chipped in 12 points apiece.  Gordon shined as well with nine points, nine rebounds, a hand full of blocks and three assists.

Oh, yes! Mr. Mayes comes off the bench to score six points, grabs two rebounds and adds an assist. After all, it's March Madness and that's when Mayes is at his best.

Got to love it!
