Bell leads No. 20 Oregon past Fresno State 75-63
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Jordan Bell scored a career-high 23 points and No. 20 Oregon beat Fresno State 75-63 on Tuesday night for its ninth straight victory.
Dylan Ennis added 13 points for the Ducks (11-2), who finished nonconference play on a 33-game home winning streak.
Paul Watson scored 15 points and Karachi Edo had 12 for the Bulldogs (8-4), who pulled within 53-50 midway through the second half before five straight points by Bell gave Oregon some breathing room.
The Ducks played their second game without scoring leader Chris Boucher, who sprained his left ankle in practice last Thursday but has since shed his walking boot. In Boucher’s absence, Bell shot 8 of 11 after going 7 of 8 and scoring 16 points against UNLV on Saturday.
Bell also had eight rebounds as the teams battled to a 31-31 draw on the glass.
