EUGENE, Ore. — Eugene Omoruyi scored 18 points to help Oregon beat Eastern Washington 69-52 in the Ducks' home opener on Monday.

Omoruyi was named Pac-12 Player of the Week on Monday after averaging 26.5 points and 7.5 rebounds in a pair of games last week. Oregon opened the season in Nebraska with an 83-75 loss to Missouri, with Omoruyi scoring a career-high 31 points. The Ducks defeated Seton Hall 83-70 on Friday.
