No. 5 Oregon opens with 91-77 win over Army
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Tyler Dorsey scored 21 points and freshman Payton Pritchard added 15 in his debut as No. 5 Oregon opened the season with a 91-77 victory over Army on Friday night.
After leading by 20 points in the first half, the Ducks allowed the Cadets to close within nine three times before pulling away late on free throws. Oregon finished 28 of 34 at the line.
Jordan Bell and Chris Boucher each had 14 points and eight rebounds for the Ducks, who struggled offensively with preseason All-America forward Dillon Brooks still sidelined following offseason foot surgery.
Oregon shot 45 percent, including 12 of 23 in the second half, though sixth-year senior Dylan Ennis, coming off a medical redshirt season, went scoreless while missing all eight shots from the field in his first start for the Ducks.
