Kansas, for the second straight season, has faced heartbreak in the Elite Eight.
No. 3-seeded Oregon used an 8-0 run in the final 1:27 of the first half to claim an 11-point halftime lead, stretched it to 18 early in the second half, and upended the Jayhawks, 74-60, Saturday night at Sprint Center.
It marked KU’s second loss in the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight in two seasons, KU falling last year to Villanova.
Tyler Dorsey had 27 points on 9-of-13 shooting (6-10 from three), Dillon Brooks 17 points on 7-of-18 shooting (3-8 threes), Dylan Ennis 12 points and Jordan Bell 11 points, 13 rebounds and 8 blocks for Oregon, which improved to 33-5 heading into next Saturday’s game against either North Carolina or Kentucky in the Final Four in Glendale, Ariz.
