EUGENE, Ore. (AP) --- Nate Bittle scored 20 points, Takai Simpkins added 17,
and Oregon beat Wisconsin 85-71 on Wednesday night.
Oregon (11-17, 4-13 Big Ten) has won back-to-back games and three of four
following a 10-game skid.
Kwame Evans Jr. had 16 points and a season-high tying four blocks and Wei Lin
added 13 points for the Ducks.
Sean Stewart threw down two dunks in an 11-2 run that gave Oregon an 11-point
lead with 6:24 left. Nick Boyd made jumper in the lane and John Blackwell
followed with a 3 before Simpkins and Braeden Carrington traded 3-pointers to
make 65-59 with 4:48 to go but the Badgers got no closer.
Blackwell led Wisconsin (19-9, 11-6) with 22 points and Boyd finished with 11
points and seven assists.
Wisconsin set the program's single-game record with 45 3-point attempts. The
previous mark of 40 was set twice: against Providence on Nov. 27, and against
Temple in 2001.
Lin scored nine points in a 13-2 run that gave Oregon its first lead of the
game at 25-23 with 5:39 left in the first half.
Winter and Boyd each hit a 3-pointer before Rapp converted a three-point play
in a 9-3 spurt that gave Wisconsin a 19-10 lead almost seven minutes into the
game.
The Ducks shot 71% (17 of 24) in the second half and made 28 of 54 (52%)
overall.
The Badgers committed 12 turnovers, nine in the second half, which Oregon
converted into 24 points.
