It was one of the better performances of the season for DePaul (1-4), however, they were not able to withstand a late Oregon (5-1) run to top the Blue Demons 89-79 in overtime in both team’s second game of the PK80 Classic Friday Night.
After falling down early to the Spartans, it was the Blue Demons who came out ready jumping out to a quick 10-4 lead five minutes in. The high-powered Ducks responded with a 12-2 run to take a 16-12 lead behind five early threes.
While the Ducks shot over 40 percent from behind the arc, it was a different story for the Blue Demons continued to struggle shooting just 20 percent from three.
