oregon basketball

No. 9 Oregon led for all but the first minute of the game, shooting 55 percent from the field in an 89-49 victory over Weber State in the final nonconference game for both teams Sunday in Eugene, Ore.

The Ducks (12-1) have won three consecutive games since losing at home to UCLA in a Big Ten game three weeks ago.

Weber State (6-8) heads into Big Sky play having lost four of its last six games.

Oregon had five scorers in double figures, led by Jackson Shelstad, who had 16 points on 7-of-10 shooting from the field.

Brandon Angel made all five of his field-goal attempts, including a 3-pointer, and all three of his free-throw tries for 14 points. He also had seven rebounds.

Jadrian Tracey made four of five of his shots from beyond the arc and finished with 14 points for the Ducks. TJ Bamba had 10 points and seven rebounds and Kwame Evans Jr. finished with 10 points.

Blaise Threatt was Weber State’s lone scorer in double figures with 15 points.

Weber State shot 33.3 percent from the field and a paltry 13.6 percent from 3-point range. Oregon made 40.9 percent of its shots from beyond the arc.

The Wildcats had 18 turnovers that led to 27 points for Oregon.

The only time Oregon trailed was 2-0 before Shelstad made a 3-pointer with 18:49 left in the first half that ignited a 14-2 run.

Oregon later outscored Weber State 21-6 in a nearly 10-minute stretch to take a 35-15 lead with 2:35 left in the half.

The Ducks led 40-23 at halftime. Shelstad led the hosts with nine points.

The Ducks opened the second half scoring the first 10 points, seven by Angel.

After missing its first five shots from the field in the second half, Weber State scored on a Dyson Koehler layup with 16:56 remaining, cutting the lead to 50-25.

The Wildcats went on a 10-1 run to get within 60-40 with 10:09 left.

Oregon then pulled away with a 9-2 run, with Bamba scoring four of the points.
