There’s no place like home.

After an 0-2 performance in Hawaii last week, the Ducks (7-2) responded in a big way on Wednesday with an 85-70 win over the Washington State Cougars (4-5) in front of a thin home crowd.

Oregon jumped out to an early 22-17 lead thanks to eight first-quarter points from Amina Muhammad and nine first-quarter points from Phillipina Kyei. The Cougars, however, wouldn’t go away, and fought back in the second half to knot the game at 34 at the break.

On Wednesday, Wazzu shot 50.8% from the field, 33.3% from 3-point range and 66.67% from the free-throw line. The Cougars’ 70 points were the most they’ve scored in a loss so far in the young season.

The second half belong solely to the Ducks, and specifically to Peyton Scott. She rattled off a season-high 23 points on Wednesday, 19 of them coming in the final two quarters of play. Muhammad finished right behind her with 22 points while Kyei tallied another double-double to her collegiate resume.

Oregon shot 50% from the field, 33.3% from 3-point range and 75% from the line. Oregon’s 85-point explosion marks its second-highest tally of the season and largest point total since the season opener.

Oregon outscored the Cougars by 10 points in the third quarter and five in the fourth to run away with its seventh win of the season. The Ducks have a huge home matchup on Saturday as the No. 6 USC Trojans come to town. Tip-off is set for 1:00 p.m.
