Following one of the more shocking losses in recent memory after falling to Texas Southern on Monday, No. 18 Oregon men’s basketball must rebound in its first true road test at Houston on Saturday. The Ducks led by as much as 13 in the second half on Monday, but without the interior defense of sophomore Kenny Wooten, who didn’t return after injuring his knee in the first half, TSU’s Trayvon Reed tallied a career-high 23 points. The loss was just the fourth non-conference loss Oregon has suffered in Matthew Knight Arena. Bol Bol was the team’s sole bright spot, notching a double-double with 32 points and 11 rebounds, and head coach Dana Altman and the Ducks will look to the stellar freshmen to help them bounce back. The Cougars enter the weekend 5-0 on the season, and until a 58-53 win over UT Rio Grande Valley, were one of just five teams in the nation that had won each game by at least double digits. Houston hosts Oregon at 6 p.m. on Saturday, listen below as Altman and the Ducks preview the matchup.
