Oregon Rebounds Offensively as the Ducks Cruise Past UCLA

Story by Ethan Hartley

After offensive struggles in their series against Oregon State that ended with each team earning a win, Oregon came out against UCLA with a much better offensive performance in their 67-53 win over the UCLA Bruins. 

The Ducks opened up the first quarter with three assists on their first three baskets, including an opening three from Maddie Scherr. For a team that only averages about 15 assists a game, they ended with 11 in the first half. The Ducks had a much better offensive output in the first half as well. Oregon finished the first half hitting 51 percent from the field and 50 percent from beyond the arc. Te-Hina Paopao, Endyia Rogers, and Maddie Scherr all finished the first half with two threes each. Oregon also did a great job defensively only holding the Bruins to 36 percent shooting in the first half. Oregon ended the first half doubling UCLA’s score, 40-20. 

While the second half was…

STORY: Oregon Women's Basketball Can't Get Any Momentum in Rivalry Game

Written Story by Austin Ota

Facing the Oregon State Beavers for the third time in two days, the Oregon Women’s Basketball team struggled to get anything going, as they shot just 37% from the field, 19% from three, and allowed the Beavers to hit on 66% of their outside shots. The final score of 68-62 was by no means an indication of the overall dominance for Oregon State in this game, as they at multiple times throughout the second half held ten point leads, and until Maddie Scherr hit a three at the buzzer, the Beavers led by nine. 

The first have was the Talia von Oelhoffen show through and through. She was dominant, scoring nineteen points and only missing one shot. She also added eight rebounds, foreshadowing what would be a 41-26 rebound advantage for Oregon State. Late in the second quarter, the Ducks led by three, but a 13-0 Oregon State run meant a ten point halftime lead for the Beavers.

In the second half, the…

STORY: Oregon Men's Basketball Suffers Shock Home Loss to Cal

Written Story by Alex Roth

The Oregon Ducks suffered a brutal home loss at the hands of the California Golden Bears Saturday afternoon at Matthew Knight Arena. The Ducks surged ahead 8-2 in the very early stages of the game but were never able to capture any sort of momentum after that. California used a 22-0 run in the first half to build a 17-point lead during a stretch where Oregon went scoreless for over 8 minutes. The Ducks struggled immensely offensively in this one, shooting just 37.9 percent from the field and 18.5 percent from beyond the arc. Oregon scored just 22 points in the first half and trailed 38-22 at the half. Will Richardson, De'Vion Harmon, and Quincy Guerrier each scored in double figures for Oregon, with Richardson leading the way with 22 points, but the rest of the team could not provide any offensive support.

Oregon also turned the ball over 11 times and shot just 65.2 percent from the free throw line in this one, missing 8 free…
