The Ducks were able to win their second meeting in as many years against the Portland State Vikings, taking it 84-57. With the return of Payton Pritchard and Paul White in the starting lineup, the Ducks looked like a more comfortable team on both sides of the ball, as Payton Pritchard recorded 22 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists. Paul White also chipped in 15 points, 3 rebounds, and a blocked shot. On the defensive side, the Ducks continued to look like a very intimating force in the paint, as Bol Bol and Kenny Wooten combined for 4 blocks, leading the team to 7 total blocks. For the Vikings, they now fall to 7-53 all-time against current teams in the Pac-12 Conference, as last year’s Big Sky Conference Freshman of the Year Holland Woods struggled to get it going on the offensive end, finishing with 13 points on 5-16 shooting from the fleld. Jamie Orme was the only other Viking in double figures with 11. The Vikings now fall to 0-1 on the season, as the Ducks improve to 1-0 and will continue their 2-game home stand as they host Eastern Washington on Friday at 6pm.
