Wildcats fall to Ducks, suffer first loss in Pac-12 play

Oregon disrupted Arizona's six-game win streak and took down the Wildcats 59-54 Thursday night at McKale Center, handing UA its first Pac-12 loss of the season. 

Despite outrebounding Oregon 40-35, Arizona shot just 36.5 percent from the field and committed 14 turnovers while the Ducks made 7 of 17 3-pointers. Chase Jeter finished the night with 12 points and 10 rebounds while freshman guard Brandon Williams scored 10. Brandon Randolph's 17-game streak of scoring in double figures came to an end as the sophomore guard recorded five points and five rebounds.

The Wildcats fell to 13-5 on the season and 4-1 in the conference, and host Oregon State on Saturday. Jeter, Ira Lee and Sean Miller spoke to the media following Thursday's loss. Here's what they had to say.
