EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Payton Pritchard had 19 points and five rebounds as Oregon overcame the absence of freshman star Bol Bol to get past Boise State 66-54 on Saturday night.

Bol, the Ducks' leading scorer and rebounder, sat on the bench wearing a protective boot after injuring his left foot "earlier this week," according to an Oregon pregame tweet. Bol will "undergo further evaluation next week."

Paul White, who started for Bol, scored 14 points for the Ducks (7-3), winners of three in a row for the first time this season. Victor Bailey Jr. added 13 points off the bench.

Alex Hobbs led the Broncos (4-6) with 21 points, about triple his season average, and Marcus Dickinson and Zach Haney had 11 each. The 21 points also tied a career high for Hobbs.

Boise State held the lead for the majority of the first half, all the way up until the 7:14 mark when Oregon took the 17-15 lead. Boise State would go on to reclaim the early lead, however, ending up with the 28-24 lead at the half.

Oregon quickly overcame the four-point deficit by starting the second half with a 19-5 run. The Ducks finished with a 33-26 edge in rebounds and outscored Boise State 28-18 in the paint.

Today's loss marks the first game of a new three-game series against the Ducks. The Broncos will face Oregon again later this season in Boise, Idaho at Taco Bell Arena, Saturday, Dec. 29.

Boise State will stay on the West Coast and play at Loyola Marymount, this coming Wednesday, Dec. 19 at 7 p.m. PT.
