Mike Moser scored 24 points, Johnathan Loyd added 23 points and 15 assists and the Oregon Ducks made almost every shot they tossed toward the basket Sunday. It’s a good thing. They needed just about every single one of them. No. 13 Oregon outlasted Mississippi 115-105 in an entertaining overtime game that featured 15 lead changes, 14 ties and some ridiculous 3-point shooting from the Rebels. The Ducks (8-0) felt fortunate to leave Tad Smith Coliseum with a victory. The Ducks play Illinois in Portland’s Moda Center, Saturday, Dec. 14.

Jamie Weisner scored all 22 of her points in the second half and the Oregon State women’s basketball team used an 11-0 run coming out of the break to take its first lead of the game, eventually holding on for a 79-73 win over the host Portland Pilots in the Chiles Center on Friday night. After a rough first half that saw the Beavers shoot 30 percent, turn the ball over 14 times and stumble into intermission down 10 (32-22), OSU came out of the locker room an entirely different team in the second. In the final 20 minutes, Oregon State (5-2) scored 57 points on 54.5 percent shooting (18-of-33), including going 6-for-9 from behind the arc, turned the ball over just four times and used nine offensive rebounds to punish the Pilots (4-3) to the tune of 15-0 in second-chance points.
