SAN DIEGO - Grace VanSlooten scored 26 points, Oregon made five 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, and the No. 16 Ducks rallied past No. 17 Arkansas 85-78 at the San Diego Invitational.
The win was Ducks coach Kelly Graves' 200th at Oregon.
Oregon, which had made only 3 of 11 3-pointers through three quarters, hit three in a row to take the lead in the fourth quarter. The Ducks trailed 66-59 with 8:30 remaining before an 11-3 run capped by two 3-pointers by Te-Hina Paopao and one from Chance Gray put Oregon ahead 70-69.
Oregon did not give up the lead and a 3-pointer by Ahlise Hurst gave the Ducks a 77-71 lead just inside three minutes. Arkansas cut it to two but yet another 3-pointer, this one by Gray, gave the Ducks an 80-75 lead with a minute to go. The Razorbacks had a turnover and a missed 3-pointer on their next two possessions before Endyia Rogers hit two free throws to put Oregon up by seven with 28 seconds to go.
VanSlooten, the Pac-12 freshman of the week for the second time, made 10-of-19 shots and grabbed six rebounds. Rogers had 20 points and six assists for the Ducks (10-1), and Paopao added 12 points, five rebounds and four assists. Phillipina Kyei had 14 rebounds.
Erynn Barnum led Arkansas (13-1) with 22 points and added nine rebounds. Samara Spencer had 20 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds, and Makayla Daniels scored 15 points.
