Dorsey scored a career-high 29 points, Dillon Brooks had 22 and the Ducks set a
school scoring record in a 128-59 victory over Savannah State on Saturday
night.Coming off a 93-54 win against Western Oregon on Wednesday night, the
Ducks (7-2) eclipsed their previous high of 121 points against Portland in 1970
and had seven players score in double figures for the first time in nine
seasons. It was their fifth consecutive win and 30th straight at home, adding to
another school record.The teams tried a combined 85 3-pointers. Oregon won that
battle, too, hitting 12 of 35.Three or four of our guys were talking to their
coach about transferring, Oregon coach Dana Altman said, because anybody who
takes 50 3s, our guys love that.Freshman Payton Pritchard, who had 13 of Oregons
36 assists, broke the scoring mark with a 3-pointer with 2:45 left.Dorsey went
12 of 16 from the field, and the Ducks shot a season-high 60 percent (54 for 90)
overall. They dominated the smaller Tigers (2-8) inside by an 82-10 margin in
points in the paint and 67-29 in rebounds.Oregons Kavell Bigby-Williams had 11
points and 11 rebounds for his first double-double.Despite the easy win, Altman
called the Ducks a work in progress, largely without Brooks in the starting
lineup.Were not using our athleticism to get in passing lanes and weve just got
to do a better job, Altman said.Brooks, a preseason All-American playing his
sixth game since recovering from offseason foot surgery, said hes about ready to
assume more than the sixth-man role.Im almost there, he said. Im trying to get
back in shape a little more. I feel good and my teammates keep pushing
me.Savannah State, which came in averaging 40 3-point attempts per game, went 11
for 50 from beyond the arc in its fourth straight loss.Dexter McClanahan led the
Tigers with 13 points and Troyce Manassa had 10.BIG PICTURESavannah State: The
nations leading long-distance shooters also may be tops in frequent-flier miles
after the Tigers make their third West Coast one-game road trip in two weeks to
play Oregon State. They opened the season at Iowa State and Iowa and also played
at San Diego State.Oregon: Brooks looks ready to rejoin the starting lineup,
just as the Ducks schedule turns tougher with Alabama, Montana, UNLV and Fresno
State on tap before Pac-12 play. Brooks was 8 for 12 from the field and 5 for 5
at the free-throw line.UP NEXTSavannah State visits Oregon State on Dec. 11. The
Tigers play only three of their first 13 games at home before starting
Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference play on Jan. 4.Oregon heads into finals week
with eight days to prepare for Alabamas visit on Dec. 11, the fourth of nine
straight in-state games for the Ducks this month.POLL IMPLICATIONSOregons stock
should start to rise again with three home wins in six days after the Ducks
tumbled 19 spots from their all-time high ranking of No. 4 in the first week of
the season.HIGHLIGHT REELPritchards fifth assist in the first 10 minutes was a
40-foot lob in transition to a streaking Chris Boucher for a two-handed dunk
that capped a 21-3 run for the Ducks.HIGHLIGHT REEL IIIn the second half,
Oregons Jordan Bell took the time to set up his own breakaway dunk by bouncing
the ball off the backboard before throwing it down with both hands. I thought he
was going to windmill, Brooks said. Off the glass is crazy.Altman wasnt quite as
amused by Bells theatrics as his teammates were. Hes lucky it went in, Altman
said. We will talk about that, but since it was his only two points, I guess he
felt like he had to have that one.

Treinen Jersey . Still, Brewers manager Ron Roenicke thought taking him
out before the fifth inning was an unusual move. "Im looking up at the board and
hes got two hits given up and one run, and Im taking him out after the fourth
inning," Roenicke said.

the Southeastern Conference title game despite a sputtering passing offense that
fell apart during the seasons most important games.Thanks to four new
quarterbacks -- including two transfers and two freshmen -- coach Jim McElwain
is confident hell find somebody who can fling the ball downfield.Heres the good
thing -- weve really got good arm talent, McElwain said. Im excited about being
able to stretch the field vertically. Should be a lot of fun.Junior Luke Del Rio
appears to be the leading candidate at quarterback after an impressive spring
game, though McElwain has not made a final decision. Austin Appleby, a graduate
transfer from Purdue, and freshmen Feleipe Franks and Kyle Trask are also in the
mix.Del Rio is the son of Oakland Raiders coach Jack Del Rio. The 6-foot-1
quarterback was at Alabama and Oregon State before transferring to Florida in
2015. He sat out last season per NCAA transfer rules.He is a good guy and a
great quarterback, Florida junior offensive lineman David Sharpe said. Hes a
great leader -- a vocal leader.Florida hopes an infusion of better quarterback
play can help the Gators avoid a collapse similar to last year, when they lost
three straight lopsided games against Florida State, Alabama and Michigan to end
the season.Very disappointed in how we finished, McElwain said. Not something
that were proud of, and not somethhing that, you know, I take very
lightly.dddddddddddd Yet, at the same time, it was an opportunity for us to kind
of learn.The SEC Eastern Division race appears wide open with Florida trying to
fend off an improved Tennessee program. Georgia, South Carolina and Missouri all
have new coaches while Kentucky and Vanderbilt havent shown much reason for
optimism.Maybe thats why McElwain is so optimistic despite returning just 10
starters from last season.Things are good at the University of Florida, McElwain
said. And thats the way it should be.One unresolved piece of business for the
Gators involves two suspended players: receiver Antonio Callaway and quarterback
Treon Harris. Both players were suspended in January for violating the
universitys code of conduct policy.Callaway caught 35 passes for a team-high 678
yards last season and four touchdowns. Harris started nine games at quarterback,
but is expected to switch positions if he returns.They are back on campus, using
the academic center and working out, and yet nothing has been resolved yet,
McElwain said. And there really isnt -- there isnt a time table on it. So thats
about what it is right now.----Follow David Brandt on Twitter:
