No. 1 Duke’s overtime win highlights Day 2 of PK80
Oregon also earns
overtime victory
in Portland
Associated Press
PORTLAND—Freshman
Marvin Bagley III had a
career-high 34 points and
added 15 rebounds, and
No. 1 Duke rallied to defeat
Texas 85-78 in overtime on
Friday in the semifinals of
the PK80 Invitational.
Gary Trent Jr. added 17
points for the Blue Devils
(7-0), who trailed by 16
points in the second half
and were forced to play
five freshmen once senior
Grayson Allen fouled out.
Duke advanced to play
the winner of Friday night’s
late game between No. 7
Florida and No. 17 Gonzaga
for the title on Sunday.
Dylan Osetkowski had 19
points and seven rebounds
for Texas (4-1), which fell
short of its first-ever victory
over a top-ranked team.
Bagley made consecutive
dunks to give the five-time
NCAA champion Blue
Devils a 78-73 lead in
overtime. Andrew Jones’
layup pulled Texas within
78-77 with 1:20 left. Wendell
Carter’s put-back dunk
pushed Duke’s lead to 82-78
and Trent’s free throws with
11 seconds left sealed the
win.
Bagley tied the Blue
Devils’ freshman scoring
record set by J.J. Reddick
on Jan. 15, 2003, against
Virginia.
The tournament cele-
brates Nike co-founder Phil
Knight’s 80th birthday.
Duke and Texas were in
the Motion Bracket, playing
Friday at the Moda Center,
home of the Portland Trail
Blazers. Teams in the Victory
Bracket played at the adja-
cent Memorial Coliseum.

high 29 points and leading
the Ducks to an 89-79 over-
time win over DePaul in the
consolation bracket of the
PK80 Invitational on Friday
night.
Oregon (4-1) attempted a
school-record 39 3-pointers,
letting fly without hesitation
against the Blue Demons.
The Ducks needed all of the
15 that dropped to hold off
DePaul and rebound from
their loss to UConn in the
opening round of the tourna-
ment.
Pritchard’s
previous
career-high was 20 points
set earlier this season against
Ball State. He was 7 of 13
on 3s. Elijah Brown added
19 points and Troy Brown
Jr. chipped in with 11 for the
Ducks.
Marin Maric led DePaul
(1-4) with 22 points and
Eli Cain added 19. But the
Blue Demons scored just
10 points over the final 3
minutes of regulation and
overtime combined.
Pritchard nearly won it
in regulation but his attempt
at a game-winning 3 at the
buzzer rattled around and
out. It was the first overtime
game this season for both
teams.
Pritchard came through
in the extra session. His free
throws pulled Oregon even
at 79-all and his 3-pointer
following a DePaul turnover
gave the Ducks a three-point
lead. Brown added a pair of
free throws and the Ducks led
84-79 with 1:47 remaining.
BUTLER 71, PORT-
LAND STATE 69 — Tyler
Wideman had 18 points and
eight rebounds and Butler
held off a late charge by Port-
land State for a 71-69 victory
Friday in the Phil Knight
Invitational tournament.
Kelan Martin added 16
points for the Bulldogs (4-2),
who will play the winner of
Friday’s later game between
Ohio State and Stanford on
Sunday.
Martin’s layup put the
Bulldogs ahead 69-64 with 2
minutes left, and after Kamar
Baldwin added a jumper, it
appeared that Butler had the
win in hand. But Deontae
North’s 3-pointer pulled the
Vikings closer at 71-69 with
42 seconds left.
After a timeout, North
missed a 3-pointer with 3

backs shot just 32 percent in
the first half and were domi-
nated on the boards getting
outrebounded 46-30.
Maye carried the Tar
Heels offensively for the first
25 minutes before Williams
and Joel Berry II got going.
Maye made 11 of 16 shots
and 11 of his rebounds came
at the defensive end. Berry
was just 3-of-12 shooting,
but he made 7 of 8 free
throws. Williams took just
three shots in the first half,
but was 6-of-9 shooting in
the second half.
The Tar Heels (5-0) will
face either Michigan State
or UConn in the “Victory
Bracket”
championship
game on Sunday night.

led
Arkansas (4-1) with 21

Jackson had 23 points while
Keita Bates-Diop added 18

Ohio State beat Stanford
79-71 on Friday night in the
Phil Knight Invitational.
The Buckeyes (5-1) will
play Sunday against Butler,
which beat Portland State
71-69 earlier on Friday.
Buckeyes first-year coach
Chris Holtmann spent three
seasons at Butler, taking the
Bulldogs to the Sweet 16
last season, before going to
Columbus.
Daejon Davis had 15
points and Reid Travis had
14 points before both fouled
out for Stanford (3-4), which
led by as many as 10 points
in the first half but trailed by
as many as 10 in the second.
Stanford closed within
63-57 on Travis’ layup
with 3:54 left, but it was as
close as the Cardinal could
get until Oscar Da Silva’s
jumper made it 70-65 with
46 seconds to go. Ultimately
they couldn’t catch the
Buckeyes.

OKLAHOMA

PORTLAND 71 — Trae
Young scored 18 of his 33
points during Oklahoma’s
big first half, Khadeem
Lattin added 19 points
and 16 rebounds, and the
Sooners pulled away in the
final five minutes to beat
Portland 93-71 on Friday in
the consolation bracket of
the PK80 Invitational.
Young continued the
outstanding start to his career
with a first-half flurry that
gave the Sooners a 46-31
lead at halftime. He then
came up with big baskets late
in the second half after Port-
land had rallied, trimming a
23-point deficit to five. It was
part of a 15-2 run that finally
put away the pesky Pilots.
Young has scored at least
20 points in each of his last
three games and has been the
Sooners (3-1) leading scorer
in every game this season.
JoJo Walker led the
Pilots (2-3) with 15 points,
while Josh McSwiggan and
Franklin Porter both added
13. The Pilots were 8 of 18
on 3-pointers in the second
half helping to fuel their
rally.
But it was too much to
overcome after Oklahoma’s
big close to the first half.
Leading by four, the Sooners
finished the first half on a
21-10 spurt. Young got the
run started with a 3-pointer
and had nine of Oklahoma’s
21 points to close the half.
