EUGENE, Ore. (AP) --- Isaac Asuma scored 15 points and Grayson Grove scored 13
points and Minnesota ended its five-game Big Ten Conference road losing streak
by beating Oregon 61-44 on Tuesday night.
Cade Tyson scored 12 points and Bobby Durkin 11 for Minnesota (12-14, 5-10)
which last won on the road in conference on Jan. 3 when the Golden Gophers beat
Northwestern, 84-78.
The Ducks now have lost 11 of 12.
Nate Bittle scored 15 points and Kwame Evans Jr. 13 for Oregon (9-17, 2-13)
which scored a season-low point total shooting 38% (20 of 53) and 10% (2 of 20)
from 3-point range. Evans went 2-for-2 shooting from the foul line, the only
trip the Ducks made to the line the entire game.
Minnesota led 22-17 at halftime and began distancing itself in the second half.
Oregon used a 9-0 run to turn a 29-21 deficit with 17:33 remaining into a
one-point lead on a 3-pointer by Evans four minutes later.
Grove responded with a dunk, Asuma converted a layup and Durkin made a 3 and
Minnesota never trailed again. The Golden Gophers outscored Oregon 22-6 and
turned a 39-36 advantage into a 61-42 lead with 1:29 remaining.
