Nate Bittle established career highs of 23 points and 14 rebounds and also blocked three shots to help Oregon rally to a 78-75 victory over bitter rival Oregon State on Thursday night in Corvallis, Ore.

Jackson Shelstad recorded 15 points and six assists as the Ducks (5-0) recovered from a 12-point deficit to prevail in the 365th all-time meeting between the teams.
