Paul Butorac scored 16 points and Michael Taylor contributed 14 points and five helpers for the Eagles (5-6), who have dropped three of their last four games.
The Ducks had a sizeable lead through the first 10 minutes, but seven straight points by the Eagles cut their deficit to 24-23 on a layup by Brandon Moore.
Oregon, though, scored the next six points and eventually took a 46-37 lead into the locker room.
The Ducks started off the second half with a 12-2 run to grab control of the game with Tajuan Porter netting seven points during the spurt.
Eastern Washington responded with an 11-2 burst to make it a 61-50 game after Butorac put in a layup a little over seven minutes into the second half.
