NEW YORK (AP) — It was a busy week for coach Kelly Graves and the Oregon Ducks. A win over previously unbeaten Mississippi State started off the fourth-ranked Ducks' week. Graves then sat out Oregon's next two games to serve a suspension for NCAA violations.

The junior guard had back-to-back triple-doubles _ setting the NCAA record for men and women in the process.
