Oregon scored the first 11 points of the second half which basically doomed Alabama State to their 12th loss of the season. The Duck bench had great success against the outmatched Hornets, tallying 37 points. Freshman Addison Patterson and sophomore Will Richardson were particularly effective coming off the pine, combining for 22 points.

PAC-12 play will kick into gear for the Ducks this Thursday against the Colorado Buffaloes. Oregon is riding a five-game win streak and hope to live up to their preseason hype as the favorites to win the conference.
