This will be a game to be remembered, but unfortunately for the Ducks, the ending didn’t turn out to be what Oregon hoped for.
Oregon erased a nine-point deficit with under three minutes to play, tied the game with 0.1 seconds left to send it into overtime only to lose 85-84 to Washington State.
Te-Hina Paopao’s jumper at the buzzer was off the mark and the Cougars defeated the Ducks for the first time in eight tries. Oregon drops to 13-5 overall and 4-3 in conference play. WSU improved to 13-4 and 3-3 in Pac-12 play.
Endyia Rogers led all scorers with 33 points and Chance Gray finished with 22 points, but in the end, it was massive defensive breakdowns way before the overtime period that was the Ducks’ downfall.
