No. 13 Oregon beats UConn 79-69 for fifth in Maui
LAHAINA, Hawaii — Oregon opened the Maui Invitational with a disappointing loss, won in overtime and closed with a click-on-all-cylinders win.
Winning the tournament was the goal, but getting better with each game wasn’t a bad consolation.
Chris Boucher scored 21 points, Tyler Dorsey added 19 and No. 13 Oregon beat Connecticut 79-69 on Wednesday in the fifth-place game of the Maui Invitational.
“Obviously, we still have a lot of stuff we need to work on offensively and defensively, but I think we took a step,” said Oregon forward Jordan Bell, who had 12 points.
