EUGENE, Ore. - Much of the pregame attention was focused on Oregon's highly-touted incoming class, but it was the return of Payton Pritchard and Paul White that led the Ducks to an 84-57 victory in the season opener against Portland State in front of 8,212 fans on Tuesday night in Matthew Knight Arena.
White and Pritchard, who both missed the Ducks' exhibition game against Western Oregon, combined for 37 points on 11-of-15 shooting. Freshman Bol Bol recorded his first collegiate double-double with 12 points and rebounds each in his regular season debut.
