No. 16 Oregon Ducks 76, Colorado 56

Key run: Does the entire first half count? After Colorado sank the first basket of the game, the Ducks drilled the Buffaloes for a 40-21 half, a streak of 20 minutes that included a 13-0 run midway through.

It was over when: The Buffaloes turned a 22-point Oregon lead into 10 at 50-40, but the Ducks countered with a 7-0 run, with two buckets by Elgin Cook and a three-pointer from Tyler Dorsey to put the game away midway through the final half.

Key stat: Colorado was just 6 of 14 on free throws and turned the ball over 14 times to Oregon's six.

Top performances: Elgin Cook led the Ducks with 18 points. Chris Boucher had seven, 12 rebounds and six blocks. Colorado's Josh Scott led the Buffaloes with 17 points.

Next up: The Ducks face Utah on Sunday.

A full game story will be posted shortly.
