EUGENE, Ore. - Oregon made shot 68.4 percent from three-point range and handed Boise State a 106-75 loss Saturday, at Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene, Ore. The 15th-ranked Ducks (2-0) made 13 three-pointers and held the Broncos (1-1) to 6-of-23 shooting from beyond the arc.

Another 9-0 spurt minutes later put Oregon ahead 44-26 with 70 seconds left before halftime. Boise State would not get closer than 15 the rest of the way.
