Garrett Sim and E.J. Singler scored 13 points each and Oregon overcame horrid shooting to defeat North Carolina Central 58-45 on Tuesday night in the Global Sports Hoops Showcase.
Devoe Joseph scored 10 points and Olu Ashaolu had nine rebounds for the Ducks (7-3), who made just six of their first 30 shots.

Tied 28-28, Joseph hit a 3-pointer to spark the Ducks on a 19-3 run to make it 47-31 with 6:42 left. Oregon was 7 of 11 during that stretch and finished 16 for 49 (33 percent).
