Duck Defense Maintains Momentum in Pullman

PULLMAN, Wash. – Four players scored in double-figures and the Duck reserves combined for 31 points as the Oregon men's basketball team executed a complete performance on Wednesday, defeating Washington State, 72-61, at Beasley Coliseum.

Hot shooting from Paul White, who scored a career-high 21 points, and Victor Bailey Jr. lifted the Ducks to their ninth win in Pac-12 play to keep Oregon in the running for a first-round Pac-12 Tournament bye.

How It Happened: The veterans stepped up early for the Ducks (18-12, 9-8 Pac-12). Paul White hit a three on the first possession of the game, foreshadowing the kind of shooting night he would have.
