Broncos D dominates Panthers in 24-10 Super Bowl win

A reborn Orange Crush might have sent Peyton Manning into retirement with a Super ending to his career.

Von Miller and the impenetrable Denver defense harassed Panthers quarterback Cam Newton all game Sunday, and the Broncos made enough big plays for a 24-10 victory, Manning's 200th and perhaps his last before retirement.

Utah coach Larry Kyrstkowiak saw enough Sunday to believe Brooks might have the right stuff.

Brooks had 30 points and nine assists, both career highs, to lead No. 16 Oregon to a 76-66 victory over Utah.

Pacific snaps BYU's 17-game home conference win streak

Just two days after an improbably come-from-behind win over No. 25 Saint Mary's, BYU lost to a team that came into the Marriott Center with six total wins.

T.J. Wallace scored 15 points, including the go-ahead 3-pointer with just over three minutes remaining, to lift Pacific to the upset win at BYU, 77-72, snapping the Cougars' 17-game in-conference winning streak Saturday afternoon at the Marriott Center.

Alec Kobre led the Tigers (7-15, 5-7 WCC) with 17 points and four rebounds, and Pacific's bench outscored the BYU non-starters 22-0.
