berating me,” Grange said. “It was
unprofessional. The things he was
saying were unnecessary. There’s a
code of conduct in the rules on be
rating an official.
“Each coach is responsible for
his conduct, and he went over the
line.”
Bibby was clearly frustrated
with how drastically the game
changed in the second half. The
Trojans, who advanced to the title
game after beating No. 1 seed Ore
gon on Friday, used a 17-2 run to
open up a 39-31 halftime lead.
But after the break, the Trojans
were a different team and had no
answer for the surging Wildcats.
Arizona opened the second half
with a pivotal 19-4 run that ended
after Luke Walton muscled home a
layin with 13:43 to play.
“It was like two different
games,” Arizona head coach Lute
Olson said of the two halves.
After Walton’s bucket, Arizona
never trailed and held off the Tro
jans, who appeared to be more
concerned with the officials than
the game.
“It was tough,” USC senior
Sam Clancy said. “I mean, damn,
call a foul.”
“I’m not commenting on the
refs,” USC guard Brandon
Granville said. “I might be here
all day.”
Bibby sure was commenting,
though, and after a question of
whether the Trojans “hit a wall” in
the second half because of fatigue,
he again turned the conversation
toward the whistle-blowers.
“We hit three walls in the sec
ond half,” said Bibby, referring to
the game’s three officials. “I know
where the game was lost.”
Bibby was asked to elaborate but
coyly replied, “No. I take the Fifth”
Amendment.
Arizona took full advantage of
the distracted Trojans.
Freshman Salim Stoudamire,
cousin of the Portland Trail Blaz
ers’ Damon Stoudamire, had a
near-perfect performance. The
Portland native made 9-of-10 field
goals, including 5-of-6 from be
yond the arc, and all six of his free

throws en route to a career-high 29
points.
“He made every shot,” Granville
said.
Arizona’s Luke Walton con
tributed 23 points, much to the
delight of his father Bill Walton,
dressed in Arizona red and being
quite vocal from his second row
seat.
“Luke is just a tremendous com
petitor,” Olson said. “He has a tal
ent and reactions you can’t teach.
It’s in his genes.”
When the game was over, Wal
ton and his Wildcat teammates
were given championship hats, T
shirts and basketballs. They were
hugging each other and dancing
on a podium at center court. On
the Staples Center big screen, the
Arizona logo shone with the
words “Pac-10 champs.”
They were then awarded the
Pac-10 Tournament champi
onship trophy, which glistened in
the air while the Wildcats hoisted
it up together.
But even after the celebration,
their veteran coach of 29 years
didn’t budge on his heated oppo
sition of the Pac-10 Tournament,
which was brought back after a
12-year absence.
“I’m still not (in favor). It doesn’t
change things,” Olson said. “If we
think about the student-athletes
and not the money then we would
n’t have this.
“It’s ridiculous for us and
(USC) to have played 21 confer
ence games.”
Two of those games for each
team were losses to regular season
champion Oregon, which flew
home from Los Angeles on Satur
day morning. Some may think the
Ducks got the better end of the
deal, having only played two
games in L.A., while Arizona and
USC each played three in three
days.
“I’ve always said that the team
that plays three games is going to
be a tired basketball team,” Bibby
said.
Whether having a conference
tournament helps or hinders the
Pac-10 will be found out with this
week’s opening of the Big Dance.
