If something has to die, what a way to go out.

Heading into Friday night’s game against Boise State, Oregon owned the longest home court winning streak in Division-I. The Ducks hadn’t been beaten inside Matthew Knight Arena since Jan. 8, 2015, a streak which spanned the course of 46 games.

That all came to an end Friday thanks to an unbelievable half court buzzer-beater by Boise’s Lexus Williams.

As you might expect, there was much rejoicing in the Bronco locker room.

The dramatic win improved Boise State to 7-1 on the young season, while rebuilding Oregon dropped to 5-3.

The longest home court winning streak in Division-I now belongs to Cincinnati, which has won 30 straight. The Bearcats, who face arch-rival Xavier on the road Saturday afternoon, could be tested on Dec. 12 when currently unbeaten Mississippi State pays a visit to BB&T Arena.
