Oregon Blows 17 Point Lead In Overtime Loss To UCLA

The Oregon Ducks were stunned by the UCLA Bruins at Mathew Knight Arena Thursday night, in what could be a pivotal game to begin conference play for both sides. In front of 10,105 fans a  depleted Dana Altman squad were defeated by an up-and-coming UCLA squad 87-84 in overtime.

UCLA got off to a strong start from the field, at one point making nine of ten shots in a row, en-route to an early 22-17 lead. Due to early foul trouble, the Ducks had to sit both Paul White and Louis King. However, this proved to be a catalyst for a Duck squad that has sorely needed a spark.

AUDIO: Troy Dye Speaks To The Media Regarding His Decision To Stay For His Senior Year

Thursday afternoon, Junior Linebacker Troy Dye announced in a tweet that he will forgo the NFL Draft and stay for his Senior year. This is big news for Ducks fans as Dye was Oregon’s leading tackler for each of the last three years. His return coupled with Lamar Winston Jr staying preserves a veteran linebacker group. Many speculated that Dye's return was largely influenced by the fact that Oregon landed the nation's #1 recruit Keyvon Thibodeaux, Justin Herbert is staying, and the ability to play one more season with his younger brother, Travis. Oregon returns seven starters on the defensive side of the ball.
