STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Chris Duarte had 17 of his 24 points in the final 10 minutes and Oregon held off Stanford for a 71-68 win Thursday night.

Duarte’s 3-pointer with 3:55 left gave the Ducks the lead for good at 65-64. Chandler Lawson followed 48 seconds later with a dunk for a three-point lead and Oregon made 4 of 6 from the foul line to hang on.

Jaiden Delaire led Stanford with 15 points. The Cardinal's leading scorer and rebounder, Oscar da Silva, missed the game due to a lower extremity injury.
