-

Tyler Dorsey scored 23 points, including six threepoint­ers, and No. 13 Oregon ended No. 5 Arizona’s 15game winning streak with a startlingl­y decisive 85-58 victory over the fifth-ranked Wildcats on Saturday at Eugene, Ore.

Dillon Brooks added 18 points and four threes as the Ducks (21-3, 10-1 in the Pac-12 Conference) extended their home-court winning streak to 40 games, an ongoing school record and now the longest active home streak in the nation after Kansas’ 51-game run was ended by Iowa State earlier Saturday.

Oregon hit 16 threepoint­ers, its most since opening Matthew Knight Arena in 2011.

Rawle Alkins had 16 points for the Wildcats (21-3, 10-1), whose first Pac-12 defeat this season was their worst loss under Coach Sean Miller since a 99-69 setback against Brigham Young on Dec. 28, 2009. Their 15-game win streak was the thirdlonge­st in the nation.

The Ducks had been struggling, losing on the road to unranked Colorado last weekend and then barely escaping with a 71-70 victory over Arizona State on Thursday.

But they didn’t have any trouble against the Wildcats, leading by as many as 37 points.
