Washington State can’t hold halftime lead in 78-58 loss to Oregon

Hot shooting helped the Cougars take a 39-35 lead into halftime, but it disappeared in the second half.

EUGENE, Ore. — Louis King scored 13 of his 22 points in the second half and Kenny Wooten had 20 to help Oregon rally past Washington State 78-58 on Sunday night.

Paul White added 18 points for the Ducks (12-8, 3-4 Pac-12), who came back from a four-point halftime deficit to end a two-game losing streak and avoid a fifth home loss of the season.

Oregon went ahead for good at 48-44 on two fast-break baskets by King off WSU turnovers as the Ducks opened the second half on a 13-5 run.
