Christiansen: The Ducks’ transfer seniors rally to secure the rivalry win

“I just seen the way they was guarding me from 3, that was mad disrespectful,” TJ Bamba, Tuesday’s leading scorer, said after another Oregon win. “So I said it’s over, I’m snapping out of this.”

Bamba and the Ducks’ transfer seniors got all they could eat against the Huskies in the 82-71 victory at Matthew Knight Arena.

Oregon (16-3, 5-3 Big Ten) knows it is going to get Washington’s best shot no matter the ranking and no matter the sport. After falling to Purdue in their last home game, the Ducks looked to carry over their defensive performance while finding better shots. The 82-71 victory over the Huskies (10-9, 1-7 Big Ten) proved to be another competitive classic.

Nate Bittle and the Oregon big men had their work cut out for them, facing the $2 million man, Great Osobor, who transferred to Washington from Utah State, receiving the largest reported NIL deal seen yet in college basketball.

Washington’s…

Valleau: With TJ Bamba on the perimeter and Nate Bittle down low, the Ducks have made the entire court feel like a prison

The No. 17 Purdue Boilermakers have made a name for themselves in the college basketball land due to their dominating paint presence. Players like Zach Edey dominated the skies for four years, and now with Edey in the NBA, Purdue has looked elsewhere to continue the trend.

They were looking to find that player in a showdown against the No. 13 Oregon Ducks on Saturday at Matthew Knight Arena. That search will have to continue though, as the Oregon Ducks’ skyscraper Nate Bittle took over the paint against the Boilermakers. 

The shining moment from Bittle came at the 11-minute mark in the first half, when Purdue forward Camden Heide challenged Bittle at the rim, only to be turned away by a ferocious block from behind for the big man. To follow it up on the other end, Bittle splashed home a 3-pointer after a nice dish from Jadrian Tracey. 

“Nate cleaned up a lot in there, he did a tremendous job,” said Oregon head…

Students and fans pack out Matthew Knight Arena for ranked Big Ten showdown

Coming off the successful yet stressful road trip to Columbus and University Park, the No. 13 Oregon Ducks turn their focus to the No. 17 Purdue Boilermakers. It was the first ranked matchup for Purdue since its 18-point loss to the now-ranked No. 1 Auburn Tigers.

While the Ducks managed to win their prior three quad-one games, hosting Maryland and defeating Ohio State and Penn State on the road, the team’s last ranked matchup facing now-No. 19 Illinois delivered an unfavorable outcome.

Purdue and All-Conference guard Braden Smith looked to push the tempo early and create confusion among the Ducks’ defenders. The Boilermakers forced the ball down low to Trey Kaufman-Renn who couldn’t get one to fall. He started the game 0-for-6 from the floor then took a hard fall from the flagrant foul against Nate Bittle, all in the first five minutes of play.

Oregon’s defense emphasized protecting the paint and taking advantage of its…
