Ducks win; Arizona loses
Number 13 Oregon moved back into sole possession of first place in the Pac-12 last night with a 76-62 win over Washington State at Matthew Knight Arena. It was Oregon’s 24th straight win at home.
Chris Boucher (BOO-shay) led with 18 points and 13 rebounds for the Ducks who are alone at the top after Number 9 Arizona lost to Colorado to give up their share of the lead. Oregon will host Washington Sunday afternoon with an outright shot at the title… and a chance to go undefeated at home.
