Ducks WBB Survive Scare vs Utes

Story by Ryan Milano

The Ducks limped out of Matthew Knight Arena with a 70-66 victory over Utah Wednesday afternoon.

It wasn’t pretty from the jump for Oregon as the Ducks headed to halftime trailing 29-28, shooting just 1-14 from deep in the half.

The 2nd half started stronger as Oregon was able to take the lead and balloon it out to a nine-point advantage in the 3rd quarter. However, the Ducks left their foot off the pedal once again and Utah slowly clawed their way back to even with under three minutes to play.

The Utes would never take the lead back. Oregon was able to make the plays at the end to win.

For the 2nd consecutive game, Oregon went up against one of the teams at the bottom of the Pac-12 table and were taken to the wire.

The win gives Oregon five straight W’s. The Ducks try to keep their win streak going on Friday as they play host to UCLA.Audio Story coming soon
