EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Jadrian Tracey scored 15 points off the bench, leading five in double figures, and Oregon defeated Tennessee State 92-67 on Friday night in a campus game of the Emerald Coast Classic.

Jesse Zarzuela scored 14 points, Keeshawn Barthelemy 13, Jermaine Couisnard 12 and Kario Oquendo 11 for the Ducks.

Oregon led 48-40 at halftime, then held the Tigers to 27 points in the second half. Oregon led 58-47 four minutes into the second half before a 3-pointer by Couisnard jump-started a 12-0 run over the next 4 1/2 minutes.

Oregon's N'Faly Dante did not play as he continues to recover from various injuries. Dante had 16 points and a career-high 21 rebounds in the Ducks' season-opening win over Georgia but has been held out of the past two games.
