Oregon held @SunDevilHoops (19-9; 10-6) to just .312 field goal shooting (17-of-53) and raced to a 79-51 win at Matt Court in Eugene late Thursday night.
ASU was just 6-of-23 (.261) in the second half from the field as Oregon took a 34-26 halftime lead and used nine steals and a 44-26 rebounding edge to drop ASU to 10-6 in the Pac-12, as it remains second in the loop with Oregon State's loss to Arizona earlier in the evening.
ASU made its first two shots of the game to grab the early lead, but the Ducks then forced eight straight misses and ASU never led again. Ehab Amin broke a 9-9 tie with a three-pointer, and he tipped in a miss to put Oregon up 16-10. ASU rallied to tie it one more time at 16-16, but Payton Pritchard put the Ducks up for good with a tie-breaking three-pointer, and King finished a four-point play as the home team pushed its lead to eight in the first half, 30-22.
Arizona State missed its first nine shots of the second half, which the Ducks parlayed into a 12-0 run for a 20-point lead at 46-26.
Remy Martin led ASU with a team-high 13 points to go with six assists. Senior De'Quon Lake continued his stretch of good play leading the Sun Devils with seven rebounds.
ASU next plays at the Oregon State Beavers on Sunday, March 3 at 5 p.m. PT/6 p.m. MT on on ESPNU and 98.7 FM.
