The No. 16 Oregon Ducks used a barrage of 3-pointers from guards Tajuan Porter and Aaron Brooks early in the second half to defeat No. 24 Winthrop 75-61 in the opening NCAA subregional game on Sunday at the Arena.
Oregon led 33-29 at halftime, then pulled away from the Eagles on three 3-pointers and another two-pointer by Porter during a 15-8 run over the first four minutes. Marty Leunen had the other four points and his dunk gave Oregon a 48-37 lead. Then, with his team leading 51-40 three minutes later, Brooks hit back-to-back 3-pointers as Oregon pulled away.
Brooks had 22 points for Oregon as the No. 3 seed Ducks (28-7) advanced to the Sweet Sixteen and the Midwest Regional next weekend in St. Louis. They will meet UNLV, an upset winner over Wisconsin.
Winthrop, the No. 11 seed, was led by the 15 points of Torrell Martin. The Eagles ended their season at 29-5.
