KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Oregon's season ended Saturday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament when the Ducks dropped a 73-70 heartbreaker to Belmont in double overtime at Thompson-Boling Arena.
The fifth-seeded Ducks (20-12) forced overtime with a Te-Hina Paopao three-pointer with 8 seconds left in regulation. But the Bruins scored last in the first overtime and again in the second overtime to win in the opening round of the tournament as a No. 12 seed for the second year in a row.
"I thought it was a well-played basketball game by both teams; certainly exciting," UO coach Kelly Graves said.
