Led by a season-high 20 points from sophomore Kevin Parrom, Arizona opened Pac-10 Conference play on the right note Thursday with a convincing 76-57 victory over Oregon in Eugene.

Parrom, who entered the game averaging 6.4 points per game, came off the bench and instantly went to work. He hit three straight 3-pointers over a three minute span to give the Wildcats a 20-9 lead. Arizona would take a 37-22 halftime lead.

Jeremy Jacob scored a team-high 17 points for the Ducks, who could never close to within single digits in the second half.

The Wildcats (12-2, 1-0) will take a four-game winning streak to Oregon State on Sunday night, while Oregon (7-6,0-1) will host Arizona State on Saturday.
