No. 18 Oregon 107, Western Carolina 83: Joseph Young scored a career-high 36 points and Mike Moser added 26 as host Oregon cruised past Western Carolina.

Trey Sumler scored 23 of his 29 points in the second half to pace the Catamounts (2-1). James Sinclair added 17 points and Tom Tankelewicz tallied 11.
