The AP Top 25 men’s college basketball poll is back every week throughout the season! IOWA CITY, Iowa — Nate Bittle had 21 points and 10 rebounds, and his third blocked shot of the game preserved Oregon’s 80-78 victory over Iowa on Wednesday night. Oregon came back with 3-pointers by Barthelemy and TJ Bamba and the Ducks held the lead until Payton Sandfort and Pryce Sandfort hit back-to-back 3s for a 73-71 Iowa lead with four minutes left. There were four lead changes in the next two minutes with Oregon taking the final lead 76-75 on a turnaround jumper by Bittle. There was one tie — 20-20 — before Bittle scored six points and Barthelemy five in an 11-4 run that gave the Ducks a 31-24 lead.
