Oregon 68, Arizona State 65:
Senior forward Carlos Emory scored 14 points - and made a pair of free throws with 13.6 seconds remaining - as the host Ducks remained unbeaten in Pac-12 Conference play.

Center Tony Woods and freshman guard Damyean Dotson added 14 points apiece for Oregon (14-2, 3-0), which ended the game with a 9-5 run to pull out its fifth straight victory.

Freshman point guard Jahii Carson collected a game-high 20 points and team-high seven rebounds and Evan Gordon added 17 points for Arizona State (14-3, 3-1), which had a six-game streak snapped.

With Gordon hitting a pair of 3-pointers, Arizona State jumped out to an early 19-11 lead but Oregon answered with a 12-0 run over the next five minutes. The Sun Devils connected on just three of their final 10 first-half field goal attempts while turning the ball over eight times and trailed 32-28 at halftime.

The Ducks led by as many as six points, 49-43, midway through the second half before the Sun Devils went on a 7-0 run 0 capped by Gordon's layup to take a 56-53 lead with 6:43 remaining. Arizona State led as late as 60-59 with 2:01 left on a 3-pointer by Carrick Felix, but Oregon took the lead for good on a dunk by Woods on the next possession.
