Arizona Takes Win Over Oregon

Eugene, OR (SportsNetwork.com) -- T.J. McConnell came out uncharacteristically aggressive and it paid off, as the redshirt senior scored 21 points to lead No. 7 Arizona in a 80-62 win over Oregon. McConnell, who transferred from Duquesne after two seasons with the Dukes, had never scored more than 19 points in an Arizona uniform.

All five starters reached double figures for the Wildcats (14-1, Pac-12), who snapped Oregon's six-game win streak with a result that was never really in doubt. Stanley Johnson had 14 points and seven rebounds, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson gave 13 with nine boards and Kaleb Tarczewski posted his first double-double of the season after totaling 11 points and 10 rebounds.


Gonzaga Hammers San Francisco

(Spokane, WA) -- Number-seven Gonzaga outscored San Francisco 51-30 in the second half en route to an 88-57 win at the McCarthey Athletic Center. Kevin Pangos led the charge with 17 points and Przemek Karnowski scored 16 as the Bulldogs moved to 15-1. Kyle Wiltjer chipped in 15 points in the victory.  Gonzaga hosts Santa Clara Saturday.  


Illinois At Nebraska

(Lincoln, NE) -- The Fighting Illini are on the road Sunday facing Nebraska. Illinois is 11-5 and 1-2 in the Big Ten after an upset win over Maryland on Wednesday.  The Cornhuskers dropped Rutgers last night to get to 9-6.

Northern Illinois hosts Kent State Saturday in other local college basketball action.  Notre Dame hosts unbeaten Virginia also on Saturday. On Sunday, Northwestern is at Michigan State.
