Sophomore guard Holland Woods scored 13 points and senior forward Jamie Orme added 11 for Portland State. The Vikings shot just 28.8 percent from the field, including 5 of 35 from 3-point range.

Portland State produced a 41-38 rebounding edge but struggled to deal with the Ducks in the interior as Oregon posted a 42-24 edge in points in the paint.

The Ducks have won 21 consecutive home openers, dating back to a 56-54 loss to the Vikings in their 1997-98 home opener.

The Ducks answered with 12 straight points as Pritchard and sophomore guard Victor Bailey Jr. each scored four points during the spurt as the margin reached 23 with 6:46 remaining.

The lead topped out at 27 points on two free throws by Okoro with 57 seconds remaining.

Portland State shot just 25.6 percent in the second half and missed 15 of 16 3-point attempts.
