Oregon defeated 5th-seeded Washington State 75-70 Thursday. The win marked the 4th in a row for the Ducks, although getting it accomplished was a bit of a highwire act. UO led big in the 1st half but then succumbed to a monster run by the Cougars. The Ducks eventually trailed for most of the final 10 minutes before prevailing in the final 2 minutes of play.
UCLA has not lost since Jan. 26. The Bruins took down 9th-seeded Colorado 72-64 Thursday, earning their 11th straight victory. That stretch includes a 70-63 win over the Ducks in Eugene on Feb. 11; the No. 2 team in NCAA-I swept 2 regular-season games from the Ducks after having lost 4 straight to UO from 2020-2022.
