Ducks Can't Hold Off Sun Devils
01/19/19 | Men's Basketball
The Oregon men’s basketball team fell to Arizona State, 78-64, Saturday in the Desert.
TEMPE, Ariz. – The Oregon men's basketball team split its road trip series in the Grand Canyon State after falling to Arizona State, 78-64, at Wells Fargo Arena Saturday.
How It Happened: The Ducks battled with ASU from the get-go, but didn't have a response to Arizona State's 19-0 second half surge.
The Ducks (11-7, 2-3 Pac-12) and the Sun Devils traded baskets on offense through the first half. ASU was the first to take the lead for an extended period of time, but only led by four points, 18-14, at the 12:58 mark.
With 8:30 left in the half, Miles Norris hit a three followed by a Paul White jumper to put the Ducks up three, 26-23. The Sun Devils fought their way back to a three point lead with 1:29 left in the half, but Payton Pritchard hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to tie things up, 39-39, heading into halftime.
Oregon was quick to strike coming out of the locker room, with Louis King knocking down a jumper on the first possession to give the Ducks a 41-39 advantage. Oregon went on to expand its lead to four points, 54-50, after King sunk a three-pointer at the 8:37 mark.
But ASU (13-5, 4-2 Pac-12) was quick to respond to the freshman's bucket with back-to-back threes of their own en route to a 19-0 run that would end up securing the victory at home.
Who Stood Out: Payton Pritchard recorded 20 points, six rebounds and three steals. Louis King added 16 points and Paul White scored 12.
Notable: Payton Pritchard climbed up two spots on the the UO career scoring list to No. 35 with 1,026 points. He passed Antoine Stoudamire (1,010/1991-93) and Bill Drozdiak (1,012/1968-71) … Pritchard's 20 points were the most he has scored since going for 22 in the season-opener against Portland State ... Paul White recorded his sixth-straight game in double-figures ... Louis King has scored in double-digits in all five Pac-12 games this season ... Miles Norris scored a season-high six points in the first half
Quotable:
Dana Altman, Head Coach
"We were up four with eight minutes to play and just made a couple of bad decisions on defense and they got six easy points and that's where the game turned. You shoot 33 percent and the other team shoots 51 percent and it's going to be pretty hard on you."
Up Next: The Ducks return to Matthew Knight Arena on Thursday where they will host Washington (6 p.m. PT, ESPN2).
