Oregon 80, Washington 77 (OT): Arsalan Kazemi scored 11 of his 14 points in overtime as the third-seeded Ducks outlasted the No. 6 Huskies to advance to the Pac-12 semifinals in Las Vegas.

Tony Woods had a career-high 19 points and eight rebounds, Damyean Dotson scored 17 points and E.J. Singler finished with 16 for Oregon (24-8), which will play No. 10 seed Utah in Friday’s semifinals.

C.J. Wilcox scored 19 points, Scott Suggs had 18 and Abdul Gaddy finished with 14 points for Washington (18-15).

Kazemi, who scored one point in the first half, made two free throws early in the overtime, then put back his own miss for a 70-65 lead. He then scored on a fast-break dunk to push the lead to seven and Washington couldn’t get it back to a one-possession game.

The Huskies used an 11-0 run to take a 23-14 lead with 10:52 left in the first half but the Ducks reeled them in and took a 39-34 lead into the break. The lead continued to change hands until Oregon back-up point guard Johnathan Loyd, a Las Vegas native, made two free throws with 16 seconds left to tie the score at 64 and force overtime.

GAME NOTEBOOK: The last time Oregon beat Washington three times in a season was in 1954. … Oregon freshman point guard Dominic Artis made his first start since coming back from a foot injury that forced him to sit out nine games. Artis, who came off the bench the last three games, did not score and sat while Loyd played the overtime. … Pat Riley, the president of the Miami Heat, and Nike co-founder and chairman Phil Knight were among those in attendance.
