Brooks helps No. 13 Oregon hold off Arizona State 71-70 By RON RICHMOND Associated Press EUGENE — Dillon Brooks scored 27 points, including the last 12 of the game for No. 13 Oregon, and the Ducks escaped with a 71-70 victory over Ari- zona State on Thursday night. Brooks hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:32 to play for Oregon (20-3, 9-1 Pac-12), which trailed 60-59 before its preseason All-America took over in the final 3 minutes. Jordan Bell had 13 points and 11 rebounds for the Ducks, who outrebounded the Sun Devils 40-30. Ore- gon made 7 of 13 from 3-point range in the second half. Shannon Evans II led Arizona State (10-13, 3-7) with 28 points and Tra Holder had 17. The Sun Devils had possession trailing 71-68 with 18 seconds left, but the best they could get was a rebound basket by Torian Graham. Oregon ran out the final 2.9 seconds for the win. Despite a decided height advantage, Oregon strug- gled to find any rhythm against Arizona State’s four- guard lineup. The Ducks were just 1 of 10 from 3-point range in the first half and trailed 28-25. It was the fewest points Oregon had scored in a first half since early season losses to Baylor and Georgetown. BIG PICTURE Arizona State dropped to 0-6 against ranked teams this season and is 1-5 in Pac-12 road games Oregon’s invincibility at home, where it has won 39 straight games, will be tested by No. 5 Arizona. The Ducks have five road games in their last seven to finish the regular season. UP NEXT Arizona State goes for its 13th win in its last 16 games against Oregon State on Saturday in Corvallis. Oregon plays its third ranked opponent of the season when it hosts No. 5 Arizona on Saturday. The Ducks swept UCLA and Southern California when both were in the Top 25 in late December. CORVALLIS — Allonzo Trier said he’s excited to be playing basketball again with his Arizona teammates after missing the first 19 games of the season. He’s still a long way from feeling like himself on the court, both on offense and defense. “It’s still a step slow. I’m still out of rhythm. I’m still not shooting the ball great,” the sophomore guard said. “I’ll be better. I know that.” And that should be a scary thought for Pac-12 opponents. Trier scored 18 points and No. 5 Arizona roared to life in the second half to defeat Oregon State 71-54 on Thursday night. Dusan Ristic had 10 points and six rebounds for the Wildcats (21- 2, 10-0), who have won 15 straight games. Stephen Thompson Jr. had 16 points and five steals and Drew Eubanks added 12 points for the Beavers (4-19, 0-10). Arizona went on a 23-2 run in the second half to take a 55-36 lead with 8:23 remaining. The Wild- cats held the Beavers scoreless for nearly 6 minutes during the surge. Trier credited a focus on defen- sive details for the second half turnaround. Arizona coach Sean Miller said that defensive stops made it eas- ier to push the tempo in the second half. “Our defense led to some good transition baskets,” he added. Arizona led by eight points early, but Oregon State battled back and went ahead 23-21 after a 3-pointer by Thompson with 4:53 left in the first half. The Beavers lead 29-27 at halftime. Oregon State shot 50 percent in the first half, but was limited to 34.6 percent in the second half. Ari- zona shot 53.8 percent in the second half and outrebounded the Beavers 39-26 for the game. Oregon State coach Wayne Tin- kle said that his young squad lost its composure. “Once a little frustration creeps in, we’re just not there yet maturi- ty-wise, toughness-wise, to get it back,” he said.
