CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — In a game where points were at a premium and saw six lead changes in the fourth quarter, Illinois made enough plays down the stretch to hand Oregon a 64-59 loss in the Ducks' first Big Ten road game Saturday at State Farm Center.Trailing by three headed into the fourth quarter, Oregon (9-4, 0-2) started the final frame with five straight points – all coming from Nani Falatea – to take its first lead since the first quarter. The Ducks led by as many as four following a 10-3 burst, only to see the Fighting Illini immediately respond with seven straight points.Twice clawed within two points in the final minute, but Illinois connected on 12-of-17 free throws in the final quarter to fend off Oregon."In a game like this, in the Big Ten, every game's going to be like this. It's going to come down to the end, that's just the way it is," said UO head coach Kelly Graves. "Every little play matters and we just didn't make enough of those."Despite UO limiting the Illini to 15 made field goals, Illinois went 30-of-38 from the free throw line in the game, going 10-for-11 in the first quarter. Oregon made a season-high 16 free throws on 21 attempts."The fouls killed us tonight," said Graves. "They go to the line 38 times; we've just got to play better defense. At the same time, I thought we did some good things defensively: we turned them over a lot, kept them out of sync."Falatea paced the Ducks with a season-high 17 points off the bench, scoring 10 in the second half. Deja Kelly added 14 points."Nani was great. Nani played super, super well," Graves added. "(She) came in and gave us a huge lift and had a heck of a game."How It Happened: Kelly hit on three of her first four shots in scoring seven points over the game's first five minutes, giving UO an early 9-4 lead. Illinois responded by scoring the next nine points to gain a 13-9 edge and closed the quarter on a 17-2 run to take a 21-11 lead. The Ducks connected on three of their first five field goals, but ended the quarter shooting 5-of-18 from the floor.Illinois' Genesis Bryant scored eight points in the first, with six points coming from the free throw line. As a team, Illinois was 10-for-11 from the stripe while UO had just one free throw attempt. The Fighting Illini outrebounded the Ducks 14-6 in the first frame.Two Bryant free throws extended UI's lead to a dozen early in the second quarter, but the Ducks rebounded by scoring the game's next 11 points. The run included a 3-pointer from Peyton Scott and back-to-back layups from Falatea, bringing UO within a point, 23-22, with just over a minute to play in the half.Down four in the closing seconds, Falatea drilled a 3-pointer at the buzzer to bring the Ducks within one at half, 28-27. Oregon shot 40 percent (6-for-15) from the floor in the second while limiting the Illini to 2-for-11 (18 percent) and attempted just two free throws.It remained a one-point game as the third quarter hit its midway mark, but then Illinois went on a 7-2 spurt to push the lead to six points, 40-34, to force an Oregon timeout with 2:19 on the clock. A free throw from Ari Long and two free throws by Alexis Whitfield trimmed the deficit to three through 30 minutes.Falatea scored five points in the first minute of the fourth quarter, capped by a three-point play off a steal to give the Ducks their first lead since the 4:04 mark of the first quarter, 42-40. Oregon led by as many as four in the quarter after starting the quarter on a 10-3 burst.With Oregon leading 51-50, Brynn Shoup-Hill's putback layup with 6:03 to play put the Illini up by one, a lead they would not relinquish. Falatea' attempt at a go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:17 left was off the mark and later the Ducks were within two points with 22 seconds to play, but Illinois fended off UO by connecting on 3-of-4 free throw tries down the stretch."We had a couple of chances throughout the game," Graves added. "We just could never make the big shot."Up Next: The Ducks play at Northwestern on Tuesday (noon PT, Big Ten Network).
