Final
Oregon hopes offensive surge continues vs. Pacific
Nov 11, 2007 - 2:18 PM Pacific (1-0) at No. 13 Oregon (1-0) 9:00 pm ESTEUGENE, Oregon (Ticker) -- Bryce Taylor will look to build off an impressive performance when No. 13 Oregon hosts Pacific on Sunday night.
Taylor, Malik Hairston and Tajuan Porter scored 17 points apiece as the Ducks hit nine 3-pointers en route to a 100-70 drubbing of Pepperdine in their season opener.
Oregon set a school record last season with 350 3-pointers en route to a Pac-10 tournament title, and the Ducks were only one win away from their first Final Four appearance since 1939 when it lost to eventual champion Florida in the Elite Eight last March.
The Ducks' four returning starters did not seem to miss point guard Aaron Brooks, who had led the team in scoring last season before entering the NBA.
Taylor scored all 17 of his points in the first half and the sophomore Porter - last season's Pac-10 tournament MVP - scored 15 points in the second half and made 3-of-8 shots from the arc.
Pacific also opened its season Saturday with a win, beating Western Michigan, 90-76. Chad Troyer scored 21 points and Steffan Johnson and Michael Kirby added 16 apiece for the Tigers, who shot an impressive 64 percent (27-of-42).
