The Oregon men's and women's basketball teams took the floor against each other on Wednesday, October 30th in a scrimmage at Matthew Knight Arena.
The men took the floor first in the inter-squad exhibition. The Yellow team was led by sophomore guard Will Richardson (15 pts, 4 rbs, 3 asts), and saw a solid performance from forward Shakur Juiston (12 pts, 9 rbs). Despite the effort from the Yellow team they fell short to the Green team, led by floor general Payton Pritchard (21 pts, 4 rbs, 6 asts) and saw a good performance from forward Eric Williams Jr. (14 pts) who combined for 35 of the Green teams 53 points and helped lead them over the Yellow team.
The women took the floor following the men. The top ranked Ducks squad were without sophmore forward Satou Sabally, who missed tonight's match with an illness in this exhibition match, but the Ducks still had quality performances from collegiate superstar Sabrina Ionescu, who led the Yellow team, but could not come away with the victory against the Green team. Forward Ruthy Hebard was in mid season form as she scored 24 points in the 20 minute contest. She was helped out by guard Minyon Moore's 12 points and 7 assists, as the Green team cruised to a 52-42 victory.
