MBB Preview | The Heat comes to Eugene for the Weekend

by Olivia Arciniega

EUGENE, Ore – After an arguably disappointing second half of January, the Oregon men’s basketball team (13-5, 5-2 PAC12) hopes to finish the month with two critical conference wins. Both Arizona schools travel to Eugene in hopes of continuing their conference winning streaks.

The Ducks suffered two brutal losses to Utah and Colorado in the last two weeks. More recently against Utah, Jermaine Couisnard had another stellar performance, putting up 26 points and going 7-10 at the 3-point line. N'Faly Dante made his return from injury evident with a double-double (23 points and 10 rebounds). As notable as their performances were, they were overshadowed by the missed last second chances to pull out a win. Still, Oregon remains tied atop the Pac-12 with both Arizona and Arizona State, all teams with a 5-2 conference record.

The first game is Thursday, January 25th at 6:00 pm PT. against Arizona State.…
