Katelyn Roper added 23 points and Chrishae Rowe scored 22 for the Ducks, who improved to 2-0. Alexis Byrd had 23 points to lead the Pilots (1-1), who trailed 54-35 at the half.
UNDATED (AP) – Marcus Mariota insists his left knee isn’t a concern and that he’ll be ready to go Saturday when No. 6 Oregon hosts Utah. There are questions about how much the mysterious knee injury contributed to the Ducks’ loss at Stanford last Thursday. Asked this week whether his knee is an issue, Mariota said it wasn’t. Pressed whether he is 100 percent, Mariota said he couldn’t say.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – Multnomah County records show that former Portland Trail Blazer Rasheed Wallace owes more than $150,000 in property taxes on a 9,000-square-foot house he owns in southwest Portland. Wallace is now an assistant coach with the Detroit Pistons who were at the Moda Center on Monday and lost to Portland 109-103. KATU reports Wallace refused to acknowledge a reporter who tried to question him about the taxes.
