No. 13 Oregon Defeats No. 5 Arizona in Eugene

EUGENE, Ore. -- Tyler Dorsey scored 23 points, including six 3-pointers, and No. 13 Oregon snapped Arizona's 15-game winning streak with an 85-58 victory over the fifth-ranked Wildcats on Saturday.

Dillon Brooks added 18 points and four 3s as the Ducks (21-3, 10-1 Pac-12) extended their home winning streak to 40 games, an ongoing school record. Oregon hit 16 3-pointers, most since opening Matthew Knight Arena in 2011.

Rawle Alkins had 16 points for the Wildcats (21-3, 10-1). Their 15-game winning streak was the third-longest streak in the nation.

The Ducks had been struggling, losing on the road to unranked Colorado last weekend then barely escaping Arizona State 71-70 on Thursday.

Oregon's shots from the perimeter were falling early. Dorsey hit three consecutive 3-pointers to put the Ducks up 19-6 in the first half. Arizona scored five straight to quiet the crowd.

The Ducks pulled away with a 17-0 run that included a string of five straight 3-pointers. Casey Benson and Chris Boucher each hit 3s that put the Ducks up 27-11, then Benson added two more and Dorsey hit another to stretch the lead to 36-11 and put the crowd on its feet.

Arizona struggled from the field, going 7:03 without a basket. They were 0 for 11 from the field, making just two free throws as the Ducks built a 38-13 lead. The drought ended with Chance Comanche's dunk with 2:33 left.

Oregon, with 10 3-pointers, led 38-18 at the half.

Brooks' decisive dunk gave Oregon a 49-26 lead with 15:52 left and Arizona never threatened.

Arizona was coming off a 71-54 victory over Oregon State on Thursday. The Wildcats' two previous losses this season came to Butler and then-No. 8 Gonzaga on Dec. 3. Arizona defeated then-No. 3 UCLA 96-85 on Jan. 21.
