Wildcats outlast Oregon, advance to Sweet 16

TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) – The Arizona Wildcats extended their season and made their NCAA Tournament a little “Sweeter” tonight against the Oregon Ducks.

The Wildcats overcame a slow start that saw them down by as much as 15 early, to beat the Ducks 87-83.

Caleb Love led the Wildcats with 29 points.

Jackson Shelstad led the Ducks with 25 points.

The Wildcats now move to the Sweet 16.

The Wildcats reached the second round with a dominant 93-65 win over Akron Friday night.

In that game, five Wildcats scored in double figures.

Heading into tonight’s game against Oregon, the Wildcats led the all-time series 55-38, including 4-2 against the Ducks in the Tommy Lloyd era.

The Wildcats’ win means a date with Duke Thursday in Newark, New Jersey.

You may remember, Duke beat the Wildcats 69-55 in Tucson back in November.
