EUGENE, Ore. -- Growing pains are nothing new for the oldest veteran on Oregons roster, who may have finally found his comfort zone.After missing most of the Ducks run to the Elite Eight last season because of a foot injury, sixth-year senior Dylan Ennis, a graduate transfer from Villanova, is still getting acclimated to his teammates.Ennis scored 18 points and No. 23 Oregon rallied for a 68-63 victory over Boise State on Monday night.Tyler Dorsey added 17 points for the Ducks (5-2), who came back from 14 down in the first half to win their 28th consecutive home game.A 3-pointer by Ennis with 3:30 to play put Oregon ahead for the first time since early in the game.He probably played as well as anybody we had, coach Dana Altman said.Ennis also made nine of 10 free throws and had six rebounds in his best all-around game with the Ducks, but he was particularly pleased with his lone 3 when Oregon needed it most.That was one that was in rhythm and it just went down, Ennis said. I havent played with these guys at all. Were still meshing in and were going to get it.Last year we had a few growing pains and at the end of the year we got it right, and that can happen this year as well.After Dorseys free throw gave Oregon a 66-63 lead, the Broncos (3-3) had a chance for a tying shot, but Paris Austin lost possession on a baseline drive with 5 seconds left. Dillon Brooks sealed the win with two free throws.Brooks, a preseason All-America selection, had five points and shot 1 of 9 in 21 minutes off the bench in his fourth game back from offseason foot surgery.He had a bad game, Altman said. He was trying too hard, going way too fast.Austin led Boise State with 16 points. Nick Duncan added 15 on five of the Broncos 11 3-pointers.Altman thought his team was lucky to come back after Boise State built its big lead from beyond the arc.When a team hits more than 10 3s, youre fortunate to win playing as poorly as we did, he said.The Ducks finished with 10 blocks and a 39-32 rebounding edge. Chris Boucher led the way with five blocks and eight rebounds.BIG PICTUREBoise State: The Broncos missed a shot at their fourth road win against a Top 25 opponent and third under seventh-year coach Leon Rice.

We got beat in every category, he said.ROLE PLAYERJunior point guard Casey Benson, who is adapting to coming off the bench after starting the first four games and leading the nation in assist-to-turnover ratio last season, hit consecutive 3-pointers in the second half that helped spark Oregons comeback. Those were two big shots, Altman said. We were stuck in the mud and couldnt get anything going.UP NEXTBoise State hosts SMU on Wednesday night before traveling to play Evansville as part of the Mountain West/Missouri Valley Challenge on Saturday.Oregon hosts Western Oregon, which reached the NCAA Division II Final Four last year, on Wednesday night and then Savannah State on Saturday to continue a five-game homestand.Barry Sanders Youth Jersey .C. -- Chris Thorburn thinks one of the reasons the Winnipeg Jets have been successful under new coach Paul Maurice is that theyre playing together as a team.
