EUGENE, Ore. — The Oregon men’s basketball team capped a trying week with a gutty victory Wednesday, holding off California, 68-65, for the Ducks’ first conference victory of the season in front of 6,948 in Matthew Knight Arena.
How It Happened: The game was back-and-forth all night, with neither team leading by more than six and the score tied at halftime, 27-27. The Ducks (12-3, 1-1 Pac-12) took the lead for good at 49-47 on a three-pointer by Dwayne Benjamin, and the lead grew to four thanks to a Jordan Bell dunk on the next possession.
