PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — Klay Thompson had 16 points and Reggie Moore 15 as Washington State defeated Oregon 77-63 Saturday night.

Moore sparked a 10-0 first-half run with a 3-pointer and four free throws to give the Cougars (12-4, 2-2 Pac-10) a 27-19 lead. Washington extended its advantage to 39-26 at halftime, then hit a trio of 3-pointers in the first 5 minutes of the second half to go on top 50-33.

Oregon (7-9, 0-4) has lost six straight and was without Joevan Catron and Jeremy Jacob for most of the game because of injuries. Garrett Sim led the Ducks with 13 points and Johnathan Loyd added 11.

Washington lost to Oregon three times last year, including a double-overtime loss in Pullman.
