What It Means: Oregon entered the night having matched the best start to conference play in school history at 4-0, and extended it with the win.

Miller knows that starting five of Trier, Alkins, Deandre Ayton, Dusan Ristic and Parker Jackson-Cartwright-who have played in 363 games combined, have work to do to reach their potential, but that they're heading in the right direction. Trier would hit a big-time three-point jumper making it 81-77 in favor of the Wildcats, ultimately sealing the win for Arizona.

"That's two or three games in a row that we've defended quite well, so I think we're getting better in that area".

After trailing early by seven points, OR rode a 14-2 run to lead 19-14 after one quarter. Mazyck was 9-for-14 from the floor, including 6-for-9 from beyond the three-point arc.

With a bench that has contributed very little in terms of point production, Pinder was a difference maker in more ways than putting the ball in the basket, especially on the defensive end. The Ducks had no answer for Ayton, who muscled his way to 24 points on 7-of-11 shooting and 10-of-11 at the free-throw line.

Andrew Vickers led L&C with 22 points.
