MBB Story: Oregon Takes Down UTEP At Home

By Jonah Bruneau

Eugene, ORE – In a game that was closely contested throughout the entire first half, the Oregon Ducks dominated the second half of action, outscoring the UTEP Miners 43-24. In another game without senior N’Faly Dante and junior Nate Bittle in the lineup, the Ducks still managed to take over the complexity of the game and were able to record a 71-49 victory over the Miners, kick-starting a three-game homestand for Oregon.

Oregon got off to a slow start in the first half, turning the ball over 12 times and going 0-6 from downtown. Senior Keeshawn Barthelemy was the leading Duck scorer in the opening 20 minutes, logging eight points while going 3-3 from the field and 2-4 from the free-throw line. Freshman Jackson Shelstad earned a starting five spot for the second consecutive game after his 14 point performance one week ago against Michigan, which included him knocking down the game-winning three in overtime. In 16 minutes of playing time, Shelstad…

OREGON MBB DEFEATS MICHIGAN, 86-83, IN AN OVERTIME THRILLER

Written by Yaniv Horenstein

EUGENE, Ore. -- Oregon men’s basketball hosted the Michigan Wolverines on Saturday afternoon at MKA. The Ducks are unfortunately battling a slew of injuries, competing without N’Faly Dante, Nate Bittle, Mookie Cook, and Jesse Zarzuela. Nonetheless, even facing a size disadvantage, the Ducks fought in a tight battle against the Wolverines and closed the game with an exciting overtime victory.

The key to the first half was crashing the offensive glass. The Ducks reeled in eight offensive rebounds, leading to 12 second chance points. Michigan followed the same pattern, grabbing 12 offensive rebounds, but fortunately for the Ducks, it only led to nine second chance points.

In typical fashion, Oregon’s first half scoring was spread out. Going into the break, Kario Oquendo led the team with eight points, and Kwame Evans Jr. and Jermaine Couisnard followed close behind with seven points each. Oregon shot the ball efficiently, ending the…

MBB PREVIEW: Ducks look to stop two-game skid as they take on Michigan without key players

By Liam Baker

EUGENE, Ore. — After a strong start to the season which saw the Ducks (4-2) win their first four games by 10+ points, they lost both games in the Emerald Coast Classic and now take on the Michigan Wolverines (4-3) at Matthew Knight Arena. The two-game losing streak can partially be attributed to the Ducks being without two of their best players. Centers Nate Bittle and N'Faly Dante have missed the last three games. Dante has only played in the season opener and both players underwent successful surgeries this past week. Dante will be re-evaluated in a month and Bittle in two. Freshman Mookie Cook is also still out with an ankle injury. One bright spot for the Ducks over the past two games is that freshman Jackson Sheldstad made his collegiate debut. He scored eight points off the bench against Santa Clara and 10 against Alabama. For the Wolverines, they are looking to break a skid of their own. After starting 3-0 they have lost three of their past four. This…

PAC-12 Championship Preview: Oregon Set For Rematch Against Washington in Vegas

By Jonah Bruneau

Eugene, ORE – The commonly deemed “game of the year” to this point will get its part two Friday night in the city that never sleeps. The No. 5 Oregon Ducks (11-1) return to Las Vegas to compete for a PAC-12 title for the first time since 2021, when Utah ran them out of Allegiant Stadium. For No. 3 Washington (12-0), they make their first appearance in the conference championship game since 2018 when they hoisted the trophy at the end of the night after taking down Utah. Never before have the Ducks met the Huskies in the conference title game. 

Chaos is almost destined to take place over the entire weekend, starting with Washington versus Oregon. The overall consensus seems to be “win and you’re in” for either team in regard to the College Football Playoff. However, the other four Power 5 title games can reshape much of what the final Playoff picture will look like.

The true X-factor this weekend is looking to be No. 8 Alabama.…
