Oregon 85, Oregon State 75: Carlos Emory scored a career-high 21 points and the host Ducks rallied from a nine-point deficit to remain atop the Pac-12 standings.

Arsalan Kazemi contributed 17 points and 12 rebounds, Tony Woods scored 16 points and Johnathan Loyd added 12 for Oregon (23-6, 12-4 Pac-12), which remains a half game ahead of UCLA and a full game in front of No. 11 Arizona.

Roberto Nelson scored 22 of his team-high 31 points in the first half for Oregon State (13-16, 3-13), helping the Beavers build a seven-point halftime lead. Devon Collier contributed 14 points for Oregon State.

After the Ducks led by five early on, Nelson scored seven points in a 9-0 run that gave the Beavers a 34-29 lead with 1:40 left in the first half. Nelson then hit a 3-pointer with two seconds left in the half to give Oregon State its biggest lead, 41-34.

Oregon trailed by as much as nine early in the second half, but eventually moved ahead 55-52 on a 3-pointer by Dominic Artis with 11:33 remaining. Woods then converted back-to-back dunks to extend the lead to five and the Beavers never got back within one possession.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Artis returned after missing the previous nine games with a foot injury. He scored six points off the bench, both 3-pointers, that gave the Ducks a lead. … Oregon matched its school record for most home victories in a season (17). … Oregon State has led at halftime in 10 of its 16 conference games, but ended up losing to Oregon (twice), Washington State, California, Colorado, Washington and Stanford.
