UO Advances To Semifinal with Win Over UCLA
03/11/11 | Men's Basketball
LOS ANGELES (AP) - E.J. Singler scored a career-high 24 points and Oregon routed second-seeded UCLA 76-59 in the Pac-10 tournament quarterfinals on Thursday night.
The seventh-seeded Ducks (16-16) advanced to Friday's semifinals against either No. 3 seed Washington or sixth-seeded Washington State, which met later at Staples Center.
Tyler Honeycutt scored 19 points to lead the Bruins (22-10), who swept Oregon in the regular season but never dented their double-digit deficit in the second half.
Oregon reached the semifinals for the first time since 2007, when the Ducks won the tournament. Malcolm Armstead added 13 points and Garrett Sim 10 for the lowest remaining seeded team.
Singler had a career-high 22 points against Arizona State on Wednesday, and he was just as consistent against the Bruins. He keyed an 11-2 spurt with five points midway through the second half that pushed Oregon's lead to 22 points, equaling their largest of the game.
POSTGAME NOTES
- Oregon recorded just its fifth victory this season when being out-rebounded by the opponent (5-12). The Ducks are 10-3 when they out-rebound the opponent. They improved to 12-4 when leading at halftime and 14-1 when shooting for a better percentage than the opponent.
- E.J. Singler posted back-to-back 20-point efforts, joining Joevan Catron and Jay-R Strowbridge as the only UO players to do so this season. Singler has led the team in scoring on seven occasions this season (all coming during the 2010-11 campaign). Singler reached double figures in points for the 21st time this year (27th time of his career).
- Malcolm Armstead reached double figures in scoring for the third time in the last four games. It was the 13th time this season he has tallied 10 or more points (28th time of his career).
- Armstead (two steals) remains in sixth place all-time for career steals at UO (now with 133 steals in 63 games). He recently moved by Aaron Brooks who recorded 127 steals in 115 career games. Anthony Taylor ranks fifth with 147 steals in 115 career games.
