EUGENE, Ore. — Using stifling defense and efficient offense to overcome a poor shooting night, the Oregon men’s basketball team beat Colorado, 76-56, on Thursday before 7,226 in Matthew Knight Arena.

How It Happened: The Ducks shot a modest .410 from the field, but they committed just six turnovers and held Colorado to .338 shooting on the night to win their fifth straight game. Back-to-back three-pointers by Chris Boucher and Tyler Dorsey jump-started the UO offense early, and a three minutes later by Casey Benson sparked a 13-0 run to provided Oregon some cushion.
