Pac-12 Roundup: Tyler Dorsey’s late 3-pointer helps lift Oregon over Cal

EUGENE, Ore. – Chris Boucher scored 18 points, Tyler Dorsey added 17 and Oregon held off California for a 68-65 victory on Wednesday night.

Dorsey’s 3-pointer from the left corner with the shot clock at 3 gave the Ducks (12-3, 1-1 Pac-12) a 63-57 lead with 58 seconds to play. Oregon then sealed the win by hitting 5 of 8 free throws to finish the game.

“I just came to be open and Casey found me,” said Dorsey, who’s now shooting 49.1 percent from long range, second best in the Pac-12. “He made a great pass and I just knocked it down.”

Jaylen Brown led the Golden Bears (12-4, 2-1) with 20 points and nine rebounds. Ivan Rabb had 17 points and eight rebounds, and Tyrone Wallace added 16 points.

California dominated inside by a 46-32 margin on points in the paint and finished with a 38-35 edge in rebounds, but it missed all 12 of its 3-point attempts and came with one of its season high for turnovers with 18.

The Ducks also snapped Cal’s nine-game streak of holding opponents to fewer than 65 points and below 40 percent shooting.

Oregon opened a 13-7 lead before Sam Singer came off the bench to spark a 9-0 run for California. The teams traded the lead six times in the first half, which ended in a 27-27 tie.

Stanford 78, Oregon State 72: Rosco Allen had 21 points and eight rebounds as Stanford beat Oregon State in Corvallis, Oregon.

Gary Payton II had 22 points, nine rebounds and six assists, Stephen Thompson Jr. scored 13 points and Drew Eubanks added 13 points for the Beavers (10-3, 1-1), who had a four-game winning streak snapped.

Thompson hit a long-range 3-pointer with 53.7 seconds left to make it 72-66, but Oregon State’s press couldn’t force turnovers and Stanford made 8 of 12 free throws in the final 1:03.

Stanford outrebounded Oregon State 46-29 – with a whopping 20 offensive boards – and got plenty of high percentage looks, scoring 32 points in the paint.

The Cardinal led by as many as 15 in the first half and went to the break ahead 37-24.
