EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -- Garrett Sim scored 20 points to lead Oregon to a 74-66 victory over Prairie View on Wednesday night at the Global Sports Hoops Showcase.
Devoe Joseph added 19 points and E.J. Singler 13 for the Ducks (8-3).
Demondre Chapman scored 12 points to lead the Panthers (4-8), who haven't played a home game since Nov. 15. Jourdan Demunynck added 10.
Oregon shot 41 percent but was 10 of 21 from 3-point range.
Trailing 25-23 with 5 minutes left in the first half, Oregon went up 34-30 at halftime after Sim and Singler combined to score the Ducks' next 11 points, including three 3-pointers.
Sim gave Oregon a 57-44 lead when he made a 3-pointer with 10:29 left, but Prairie View charged back within 68-64 with 4:43 remaining on consecutive 3-pointers by Louis Munks. But the Panthers failed to score for nearly 4 minutes, while the Ducks made six free throws.
Oregon (8-3) will close out the Global Sports Hoops Showcase against Stephen F. Austin (5-6) on Thursday night with tip-time set for 7 p.m. (PT).
