No. 20 Oregon seeks to continue best start in 60 years
Dec 28, 2006 - 4:38 PM Portland (3-11) at No. 20 Oregon (11-0) 10:00 pm ESTEUGENE, Oregon (Ticker) -- As one of the last remaining undefeated teams in Division I, Oregon is in the process of rewriting the school record book.
The 20th-ranked Ducks look to continue their best start in 60 years and extend their overall winning streak to 12 games Thursday when they face struggling Portland.

Aaron Brooks scored 27 points, Bryce Taylor had 21 and Marrty Luenen 10 with a career-high 18 rebounds for Oregon in Saturday's 84-64 triumph over Mercer.
Winless in six road games this season, Portland ended a nine-game losing streak with Friday's 61-58 triumph over Montana.
Oregon has won 21 of the 22 home encounters against Portland. The lone defeat came on February 18, 1964.
