EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -- Luke Jackson wasn't ready for the season to end, and his unforgettable performance ensured that Oregon would play on. Jackson scored all but two of Oregon's final 33 points, leading the Ducks back from 18 points down in the second half in a 77-72 overtime victory against Colorado in a first-round NIT game Wednesday night. Jackson, who had 40 points overall, including 29 straight at one point, scored 14 in the last 4:47 of regulation, tying the game 61-61 on a 3-pointer with 20 seconds left. He followed that with 14 more in overtime, 11 from the free throw line. Oregon's rally began with a dunk off a steal by Jackson at the 15:57 mark to spark a 17-1 run. It erased a 48-30 deficit to pull within 49-47 with 7:57 to play. The only other player to score for the Ducks in the final 11 minutes was Andre Joseph, who converted a pair of free throws late in overtime.
