Washington St. Cougars vs Oregon Ducks Box Score on Feb 14, 2022

N'Faly Dante scored 13 points and grabbed 10 rebounds and De'Vion Harmon also had 13 points as Oregon held off Washington State 62-59 on Monday in Eugene, Ore.

The Ducks (17-8, 10-4 Pac-12) overcame 23 points from the Cougars' Michael Flowers and earned their 11th win in the past 13 games.

Oregon's biggest basket was Will Richardson's corner 3-pointer with a minute to play for a 62-53 lead. It was important because the Cougars (14-10, 7-6) fought back with back-to-back treys by Flowers to make it a three-point game with 12 seconds left.

Harmon missed the front end of a one-and-one with 11 seconds remaining to give Washington State one last chance to tie. Flowers and teammate Efe Abogidi were off target on 3-point attempts, with Flowers' shot rimming in and out, and the Ducks survived for the win.

Oregon took a 30-18 lead on a 3-pointer by Harmon with 3:48 left in the first half, which capped off a 12-2 run. The hosts' lead was down to 35-29 at halftime, however.

The Ducks let the Cougars back in the game, starting the second half ice cold while Washington State surged ahead with a 10-0 run. The Cougars soon posted their largest of the game at 43-38.

Oregon had a response, unlike in its last game against Cal when the Ducks could never turn around their shooting woes in a 78-64 defeat. A Harmon three-point play and a Jacob Young jumper leveled the score at 43-43.

Franck Kepnang gave the Ducks a 57-50 lead, blocking a shot at one end, running the court and converting a layup with 3:55 left.

Harmon drove the lane and scooped in a layup after the Ducks had run the shot clock down under 10 seconds, giving Oregon a 59-52 lead with 2:45 to go. But Washington State didn't fade away, making the Ducks sweat in the final seconds.

The Cougars shot a season-low 30.1 percent (22 of 73) while taking their third consecutive loss. They hit just 30.5 percent from the floor in a 58-55 defeat to visiting Arizona State on Saturday.
