- The Associated Press

EUGENE, Ore. — Lexus Williams hit a 3-pointer from half court at the buzzer to lift Boise State to a 73-70 victory over Oregon on Friday and snap the nation’s longest home win streak.

Payton Pritchard’s driving layup tied the score for the Ducks at 70 with 3.2 seconds to play before Williams let fly from midcourt at Matthew Knight Arena, where Oregon (5-3) had won 46 games in a row.

Chandler Hutchison led the Broncos (7-1) with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Zach Haney added 17 points and seven rebounds, and Justinian Jessup scored 15.

Pritchard topped the Ducks with 28 points, one off his career high, and Elijah Brown scored 17.

Boise State had a 33-30 edge in rebounds. Keith Smith had five to lead Oregon, which was without its leading rebounder, freshman Troy Brown, because of concussion protocol.

At Charlotte, N.C., Joel Berry II had 27 points and Luke Maye 24 points and 17 rebounds for the Tar Heels (7-1), who broke open a four-point game midway through the second half with an 11-1 run.

Peyton Aldridge had 22 points and seven rebounds for the Wildcats (33), who were outrebound­ed 54-23.

At Spokane, Wash., Zach Norvell Jr. scored 21 points in the second half for the Bulldogs (7-1), who overcame a seven-point deficit with a 20-4 run to open the second half.

Marcus Foster led the Bluejays (5-2) with 21 points. Killian Tillie scored 22 points and Silas Melson 21 for Gonzaga.
