Freshman wing Louis King scored 14 points to lead a balanced effort while Oregon's defense dominated the second half in a 73-47 rout of Arizona on Saturday night in a Pac-12 game in Eugene, Ore.

King added a seven rebounds, tied for the team high, as the Ducks finished with a 36-14 edge in points in the paint against an Arizona team that missed starting center Chase Jeter (knee) for most of the game.

Oregon (17-12, 8-8 Pac-12) swept the season series against the Wildcats (17-13, 8-9).

Arizona, which scored just 16 points in the second half Saturday night, managed a combined 101 points in two games against Oregon this season.

Arizona's 47 points marked its lowest total in a conference game in 10 seasons under coach Sean Miller.

The game was tied at 31 at halftime, but the Ducks went on a 12-0 run early in the second half to go up 45-35 with 13:29 left.

Arizona ran short of post players during that stretch, as Jeter was unable to return after playing six minutes in the first half, and power forward Ryan Luther picked up his fourth foul with 16:15 to go, drawing a technical for his reaction to a personal foul.

Oregon worked the inside, with freshman big man Francis Okoro scoring eight of his career-high-tying 10 points in the second half. Payton Pritchard and Will Richardson added 12 points each.

Dylan Smith led Arizona with 14 points, all in the first half. Brandon Williams scored 12.

Jeter, who missed most of the final 14 minutes on Thursday night against Oregon State after banging his left knee, entered the game at the first media timeout. He did not score in his six minutes.

Momentum swung wildly in the first half.

Arizona started the game on a 9-0 run; the Ducks then scored 25 of the next 30 points; the Wildcats responded with a 17-3 tear to take a 31-28 lead with 1:02 to go. Oregon tied it on Paul White's 3-point shot.

Arizona made 7 of 12 from behind the arc in the first half but was 1 of 12 from 3-point range in the second half.
