Oregon led 25-24 at halftime and briefly fell behind when the Wildcats (7-8, 0-3) went on a 12-5 run to go up 38-36 with 14:27 to play.
But the Ducks answered with an 11-2 run over the next three minutes to take a 47-40 advantage and never trailed again.
Ify Ibekwe had 23 points and 15 rebounds for Arizona.
The sophomore center led a late run that cut the deficit to 55-53, but Amanda Johnson's 3-pointer restored Oregon's breathing room and the Ducks hit five free throws in final 1:09.
