No. 16 Oregon is now 7-0 in conference, climbing in the national rankings and has emerged as the team to beat in the Pac-12.
A scorching performance from the field was the key Saturday night for the Ducks, who shot 26-for-45, good for 58 percent. Singler made seven of his nine attempts.
The two teams combined for 45 turnovers (23 from Oregon), but also shot the ball well. Washington was 27-of-52 from the field, led by 15 points from Andrew Andrews. Five Huskies scored in double figures in the loss.
Down for most of the game, Washington made a run toward the end to climb back into it, cutting the deficit to four in the final minute. But the Ducks made seven free throws in the final 1:07 to seal the victory
The win was Oregon’s ninth in a row and 13th in 14 tries. The Ducks visit Stanford next on Jan. 30 and the Huskies will host Arizona on Jan. 31.
