EUGENE, Ore. — The Oregon basketball team welcomed two players back from injury and avoided losing consecutive games for the first time all season, as the Ducks beat UC Irvine on Tuesday, 78-63, before 5,863 in Matthew Knight Arena.
How It Happened: The Ducks (8-2) had the Anteaters out of sorts early, scoring 12 of their first 13 points off turnovers. A dunk off a turnover by Elgin Cook made it 13-5, and a three-pointer from Tyler Dorsey — back after two games missed to injury — put Oregon up 18-9.
