A 32-20 rebound margin helped propel the Ducks to a season sweep of their northern rivals, the Washington Huskies. The freshman from Michigan, Jalen Terry had a breakout game hitting 5 of his 7 shots from deep.
While the Huskies only had the lead for 2:40, it was a high scoring back and forth first half. At half Oregon led by 11. The Ducks had a 21 point lead at one point, but their 15 turnovers were exposed in the closing minutes of the game. UW went to the free throw line multiple times and and capitalized on those opportunities for 19 points.
They play Arizona State at 6 pm on Thursday and then Arizona on Saturday at 1 pm. It will be the latest in the season Oregon will match up with the Arizona schools for the first time in a long time.
