The Oregon Ducks' at-large NCAA Tournament bid all but ended Thursday night with a 78-76 loss at Washington State.

Oregon had a last-second chance to win the game, but Payton Pritchard's three-point attempt at the buzzer fell short.

Oregon has one game remaining on the Pac-12 schedule, but will likely have to win next week's Pac-12 Tournament to reach the NCAA Tournament for a sixth straight year.

Here's the game at a glance:

Key run: Washington State stretched a lead up to 10 points in the second half, but Oregon was able to use a 13-2 run, capped by Keith Smith's steal and dunk to give the Ducks their first lead of the second half with 3:40 to play.

But Washington State, using Malachi Flynn's hot shooting, used a 6-0 run in the final minutes to put the Ducks away.

It was over when: Payton Pritchard missed the second of a one-and-one to tie the game with under 10 seconds left. Washington State would hit a free throw on the other end for the two-point lead and Pritchard missed the game-winning attempt from three at the buzzer.

Key stats: Oregon was 10-of-32 from three-point range. Washington State was 6-of-11 in the second half. Washington State was ranked 167th in RPI.

Top performers: Malachi Flynn had 28 points and eight rebounds for Washington State. Elijah Brown led Oregon with 18 points. Troy Brown had 17.

Next up: The Ducks close out the regular season on Saturday in Seattle against Washington.
