Oregon easily outpaced Oregon State Saturday night, taking a 91-81 win that was no where near as close as the final margin might suggest.
The 16th ranked Ducks took a 25 point lead with the first basket of the second half, and led by 25 twice more with over 8 1/2 minutes left, and it was only as close as 10 points for the first time since in the first half because the Beavers went on a 15-1 run after Oregon had cleared their bench.
The key event of the 346th basketball battle of the Civil War came less than 4 1/2 minutes into the game, when Gary Payton II picked up his second personal foul.
