Arizona, which is coming off consecutive conference road losses for the first time in the Tommy Lloyd era, aimed to separate itself at this point in conference play Thursday night in Corvallis.

The Wildcats, who came back for a win in their last game, were not able to end the skid after allowing Oregon State to come back from being down 10 points in the second half.

The Beavers hit eight 3-pointers in the second half to hand the Wildcats an 83-80 upset loss Thursday night, in what might have been the final matchup between the two schools at Gill Coliseum.

With less than 10 seconds left, Jordan Pope drove to the left wing, stepped back and delivered a game-winning shot to give the Wildcats (14-5, 5-3 Pac-12) their first loss to OSU under Lloyd.

The Beavers (10-9, 2-6) nailed 12 3-pointers, led by Pope, who had a career-high 31 points on 5-of-8 from behind the arc and Tyler Bilodaeu, who logged 22 points on 3-of-4 from 3-point range.

Arizona had four players in double figures with Caleb Love leading the way with 23 points. However, the rest of team struggled and missed 11 of its 14 attempts from 3-point range (1-of-9 in the second half), eight layups and two dunks.

UA got off to a red hot start, shooting 8-of-11 to go on a 21-9 run in the first 6:24 minutes of the game. Lloyd's team was able to muscle its way to the basket, scoring 20 points in the paint, but still struggled to finish and missed seven layups and two dunks.

The Wildcats did spread the floor well on offense with six players scoring, along with seven assists. Jaden Bradley and Motiejus Krivas helped contribute a combined 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting off the bench, which provided them with a comfortable lead throughout the half.

Pope poured in 12 points, shooting 5-of-7 from the free-throw line to help cut the lead to eight points at halftime.

The Wildcats, who came back from a 17-point deficit in the second half last game against UCLA, saw the Beavers enact a comeback of their own, starting the half going 7-of-11 from the field.

Arizona continued to have no answer for Pope, with the sophomore guard hitting two 3-pointers to tie the game at 58 apiece.

UA would allow the Beavers to take their first lead, 64-62, since they led 4-2 early in Thursday's matchup. Bilodaeu and Pope would both hit 3-pointers to take a comfortable lead late with the Wildcats needing to play catch-up, but quick buckets down the stretch by Pelle Larsson, along with a clutch block and steal by Keshad Johnson were able to tie the game at 80.

The Wildcats will travel to Eugene to take on Oregon (14-5, 6-2) Saturday afternoon.
