LAS VEGAS (AP) —Jarod Lucas hit a 3-pointer with 1.8 seconds left and Oregon State withstood Alfonso Plummer's conference-record 11 3-pointers to beat Utah 71-69 on Tuesday in the opening round of the Pac-12 tournament

No. 8 seed Utah led by 14 early in the second half behind Plummer. Making his second start in place of Rylan Jones, the junior guard was one shy of Klay Thompson's tournament record of eight 3-pointers in the first half. He finished 11 of 16 from the arc overall to score 35 points.

The Beavers had the ball down 69-68 and Lucas knocked down a corner 3 on a kickout pass from Tres Tinkle.
