    2013 PAC-12 MEN’S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT Post-Game Notes GAME 3: #10 Utah (69), #7 USC (66) Wednesday, March 13, 2013 Utah earned a berth in the quarterfinals after winning its first tournament game since joining the Pac-12 last season. The Utes will take on #2 California at 6 p.m. PT. USC won the only regular season meeting between the teams, 76-59, in Salt Lake City on Jan. 12. The Trojans had won three straight against Utah entering tonight’s contest. Utah has won three straight games against Pac-12 opponents for the first time since joining the Conference. The Utes took down Oregon State (72-61) and Oregon (72-62) to close out the regular season. The stretch also matches a season-long winning streak for Utah, which notched consecutive victories over Idaho State (Nov. 21), Central Michigan (Nov. 23) and Wright State (Nov.24) early in non-conference action. The only other time a #10 seed beat a #7 seed in the tournament was in 1989 when #10 USC upended #7 Arizona State, 94-82. Utah connected on 7-of-16 three-point field goal attempts (.438), while USC went 3-15 from beyond the arc (.200). The Utes went on a 9-0 run from 10:24-8:41 in the second half to open up a 13-point lead (60- 47), their largest of the game. USC’s last lead came with 17:16 remaining in the first half after a dunk by Omar Oraby put the Trojans ahead, 8-6. Oraby paced the Trojans with a career-high 18 points and 10 rebounds for his second double- double of the season.

An amendment to the port’s exclusive negotiation agreement for Project Mainstay was signed last week, indicating that both Mitsui & Co. and the Korean Elec- tric Power Corp. have terminated their involvement. Elise Hamner, communications manager for the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay, confirmed Saturday that Metropolitan Stevedore Co. of Wilmington, Calif. — doing busi- ness as Metro Ports — remains the port’s sole partner in the project. The amended agreement expires March 31. “We’re in an agreement with Project Mainstay through the end of the month, and then we’ll see where we’re at,” the port’s Chief Commercial Officer Martin Callery said Monday. How the loss of two partners will affect the coal project is unclear.
