The Bulldogs defeated No. 12 Little Rock in the early game, 68-51. Marta Hermida had 22 points for the Broncos (21- 12), vying to become the fi rst No. 13 seed to beat a No. 4 since Marist topped Georgia in 2012. Destiny Slocom’s layup gave the Beavers a 72-68 advantage in overtime and put the home crowd at Gill Coliseum on its feet. Slo- com added another layup before Rachel Bowers’ jumper for the Broncos cut the defi cit to 74-70. Bowers made free throws to get Boise State within two but then missed a pair with 33 seconds left. The ball went out of bounds under Boise State’s basket and possession went to Ore- gon after a lengthy review.

Oregon men beat Ionescu has triple-double UC Irvine 73-54 to and Oregon downs Indiana advance to Sweet 16 By ANNE M. PETERSON Associated Press EUGENE — Sabrina Ionescu had 29 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds for her 18th career triple dou- ble and second-seeded Ore- gon defeated No. 10 Indiana 91-68 on Sunday to advance to the Sweet 16 at the NCAA Tournament. Ionescu is the NCAA’s career triple-double leader among men and women. She’s had eight this sea- son alone. She reached it on Sunday with just over 2 min- utes left when she corralled a rebound on her own missed shot. With speculation that she may turn pro at the end of this season, it may have been Ionescu’s fi nal career game at Matthew Knight Arena. But it certainly won’t be her last game in Oregon: With the win the Ducks (31-4) advanced to face the winner of Monday’s game between South Dakota State and Syr- acuse next weekend at Port- land’s Moda Center.

The Hoosiers improved their overall record to 3-5 with a win over Texas in the open- ing round. The winners of last year’s WNIT Tournament, Indiana was helped in its bid for an NCAA berth this season by a victory over No. 10 Iowa last month. Penn had had 24 points, including four 3-pointers, in Indiana’s 69-65 victory over seventh-seeded Longhorns on Friday. Oregon easily dispatched No. 15 seed Portland State 78-40 in Friday’s other fi rst- round game at Matthew Knight Arena. Satou Sabally had 21 points and a career- high 16 rebounds for the Ducks. By JOSH DUBOW Associated Press SAN JOSE, Calif. — Ehab Amin sparked Ore- gon out of a long drought to start the second half and the Ducks became the lone double-digit seed to advance to the Sweet 16 by beating UC Irvine 73-54 on Sunday night. Payton Pritchard led 12th-seeded Oregon (25- 12) with 18 points, Louis King added 16 and Amin had 12 points and three steals. The Ducks have won 10 straight after a lackluster start to the season and will play top-seeded Virginia in the South Regional semifi - nal on Thursday. After going more than seven minutes without scor- ing to start the second half and squandering all of a 12-point lead, Oregon used a 15-3 run to take control and end a 17-game winning streak for the 13th-seeded Anteaters (31-6). Amin started it with a 3-pointer and caused two turnovers. Pritchard scored seven points in the spurt, and the game quickly turned into a laugher with Kenny Wooten getting a block on one end and an UP NEXT: DUCKS • Virginia Cavaliers vs Oregon Ducks • Thursday, 6:57 p.m. TV: TBS alley-oop on the other to make it 68-49 with just more than two minutes to play. Robert Cartwright scored 14 points and Evan Leonard added 11 for UC Irvine, which came into the game with longest active winning streak in the nation.

That started a run of 14 points in a row that put UC Irvine ahead 37-35 on a layup by Cartwright. The Ducks missed their fi rst 11 shots from the fi eld and committed four turn- overs before fi nally break- ing through on Amin’s 3-pointer that ended a drought of 7:32.
