Jersey . -- Nick Johnson scored 25 points and No. 3 Arizona beat Oregon
State 74-69 on Wednesday night in a back-and-forth game that wasnt decided until
the final minutes. Kaleb Tarczewski added 12 points and nine rebounds for the
Wildcats (28-2, 15-2 Pac-12), who had already clinched the regular season
conference title. The Wildcats have won five straight with their last loss on
Feb. 14 at archrival Arizona State. Roberto Nelson scored 25 points and Devon
Collier had 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Beavers (15-14, 7-10). Arizona
built several leads during the game but couldnt pull far away from a feisty
Oregon State team. Arizona opened the game on a 7-0 run before Oregon State
responded and took a 10-9 lead on a steal and layup by Hallice Cooke at the
14:13 mark. The Wildcats gradually crept away, and an alley-oop pass from T.J.
McConnell to Johnson for a dunk that put the Wildcats up 31-22 with 3:53 left in
the half, their largest lead of the game. Arizona led 36-33 at halftime. The
Beavers went ahead 46-44 after consecutive 3-pointers by Cooke, the latter at
the 15:15 mark. Arizona went on a 7-0 run that ended with a jumper by Johnson
that made it 58-51 with about 10 minutes left, but Oregon State again responded,
tying the game at 58 on a layup by Eric Moreland with 8:13 left. The Wildcats
forced turnovers on three straight possessions and took a 69-64 lead with 1:36
left. With 30 seconds left and the score the same, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson
blocked a shot by Cooke. Hollis-Jefferson finished with 13 points and six
boards. Oregon State outrebounded Arizona 43-34, only the sixth time Arizona has
lost the rebounding battle this season. The Wildcats crushed the Beavers on the
boards 39-24 in the teams last meeting on Feb. 9, which host Arizona won 76-54.
The Wildcats forced 17 turnovers and only committed eight. Arizona won its 108th
game in the last four years, the best four-year stretch in school history.
Oregon State hasnt beaten a top-5 team since it upset No. 3 Arizona 70-69 in
Corvallis in 2000. It hasnt beat a top-25 team in more than three years. Nelson
came into the game leading the Beavers with a 20.6-point average. He is on pace
to become the first Oregon State player to lead the conference in scoring since
Gary Payton in 1990. Cooke, a freshman point guard, who was 7 of 31 from the
field in his last four games, finished with 10 points on 4-of-7 shooting.

discombobulated, hurting from its first loss and the loss of forward Brandon
Ashley for the rest of the season.
http://www.authenticcelticsproshop.com/Red-Auerbach-Jersey/ . -- The Denver Broncos are shuffling their offensive line this off-season and
Orlando Franklin provided some insight into their plans Monday by tweeting that
hes moving from right tackle to left guard.ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Broncos running
back C.J. Anderson has been added to the Pro Bowl roster in place of injured
Steelers running back LeVeon Bell.His addition gives the Broncos a
franchise-record 11 Pro Bowlers, most in the NFL this season.Quarterback Peyton
Manning, however, pulled out of the leagues annual all-star game over the
weekend because a strained right thigh hasnt improved since Denvers elimination
from the playoffs.The 11 Broncos selected to the Pro Bowl bests the previous
high of 10 in 1998, when John Elway was wrapping up his Hall of Fame playing
career.As Denvers general manager and executive vice-president, Elway has either
drafted or signed in free agency nine of the 11 Broncos who made roster for the
game, which will be played Sunday in Glendale, Arizona.Also on Monday, Bears
tight end Martellus Bennett and Browns safety Donte Whitner were selected as
replacements for New Englands Rob Gronkowski and Seattles Earl Thomas, with the
Patriots and Seahawks headed to the Super Bowl.And two Packers, wide receiver
Randall Cobb and cornerback Sam Shields, were added to the Pro Bowl roster a day
after Green Bays loss to Seattle in the NFC championship game.Cobb replaces
injured Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant and Shields replaces Patriots
cornerback Darrelle Revis.This is the first trip to the Pro Bowl for both Cobb
and Shields.
Terry Rozier
Jersey. Anderson didnt even start until midseason but once he filled in
for injured backs Montee Ball and Ronnie Hillman, he gave the Broncos a dynamic
new dimension on offence.The second-year undrafted pro from Cal led all NFL
players with 709 yards from scrimmage in November and tied for the league lead
with seven touchdowns in December.When he was selected as an alternate last
month, he said, That is just amazing. Its just the beginning. Of course, I want
to make the Pro Bowl one day.Anderson got that chance because of Bells injury.
He got hurt in Pittsburghs regular season finale on a legal but low hit from
Cincinnatis Reggie Nelson and didnt play in the Steelers loss to Baltimore in
the playoffs.Bennetts selection is the first for him and the first by a Bears
tight end since Hall of Famer Mike Ditka earned one for the 1965 season. He led
NFL tight ends with a club-record 90 receptions and was third at the position
with 916 yards receiving.Whitner, headed to his third straight Pro Bowl, had 106
tackles in his first season with the Browns. A Cleveland native, he signed with
them after spending his first eight seasons with Buffalo and San Francisco.___AP
