No. 18 Arizona defeated Oregon State 70-59 on Thursday night to earn at least a share of the Pac-10 title.

It marks the first time in six years the Wildcats have won the conference championship.

They bounced back from a rough weekend, struggling against USC and UCLA.

"It wasn't for lack of effort, but you want it so bad sometimes you almost work against yourself, especially for us because there's something to be said about being in these moments before -- when you've been there a second time, a third time, it's so much easier to deal with," Arizona coach Sean Miller said. "I was so proud of our guys breaking through."
