PREVIEW: Oregon Men's Basketball vs. Montana State (11/15/22)
By: Griffin Bowes
AFTER A DISAPPOINTING 13 point loss to UC Irvine, Oregon’s men’s basketball team is looking to get back on track before some influential matchups next week. The Ducks played poorly on both ends of the floor in Friday’s 69-56 home loss. The Ducks shot a measly 33% from the field and only 19% from 3. N’Faly Dante played well, as he accounted for 20 points and 9 rebounds. However, the Ducks were very reliant on him for scoring, as no other Oregon player scored more than 10 points. On the other hand, UC Irvine went 42% of 3, with half of their baskets from downtown coming from sophomore guard DJ Davis. The Ducks also lost the turnover battle, committing 15 and forcing 10. Irvine was able to capitalize, scoring 25 points off the Ducks’ turnovers. Oregon only scored 10 points off Irvine’s turnovers.
THE MONTANA STATE BOBCATS are entering this game from a different angle, as they won last Sunday…

WBB STORY: Oregon Women's Basketball Defeats Seattle University
Written Story by Griffin Bowes
EUGENE, Ore. - The Oregon Ducks rode a stellar performance on both ends of the floor to a 90-47 win over the Seattle Redhawks. They are now 2-0 on the season, with their other win being a 100-57 beatdown of Northwestern. Seattle fell to 0-2, as they lost to a second straight Oregon school. The Ducks’ leading scorer was freshman guard Grace VanSlooten, who contributed with 16 points on 5-for-11 shooting from the field and 6-of-6 from the line. She also led the team with 9 rebounds. Fellow freshman Jennah Isai scored 15 points with 6 of those coming from behind the arc, and she claimed 6 rebounds. VanSlooten and Isai were only 2 of the 5 Oregon players to hit double figures, with Endyia Rogers scoring 15 points, Phillipina Kyai adding 14, and Te-Hina Paopao adding another 10. Paopao had a strong performance across the board, as she accounted for 7 rebounds (second to VanSlooten) and a team-best 4 steals.

Read MoreWBB Preview: #20 Oregon takes on Seattle in second game of 2022-23 campaign
By: Ian Sutliff
Eugene, OR-- #20 Oregon will take on the Seattle Redhawks this weekend in the second game of its season. The Lady Ducks are coming off a blowout win against Northwestern on Monday in which the team reached the triple digit mark in points. Seattle on the other hand is coming off a 36-point blowout loss in Corvallis on Thursday. While Saturday will be just the second game of the season for both teams, it may signal that the two squads are going in very different directions for the 2022-23 campaign.
Oregon:
The Ducks are a very different team than last year after a number of players have left via the transfer portal and the WNBA draft. Sedona Prince’s injury was also a big blow to this team’s regular and postseason hopes, but Oregon has a slew of newcomers that are ready to make immediate impact. Grace VanSlooten is one of those players as she showed in the season opener that she is ready to take on a big role in…
Read MoreSTORY: Oregon Men's Basketball Suffers One of the Worst Losses in the Altman Era
Written Story by Austin Ota
The No. 21 Oregon Men’s Basketball team continued their early-season home stretch in a non-conference matchup against a Big West Conference foe in the University of California, Irvine Anteaters. After a dominant season opener against unranked Florida A&M, the Ducks displayed many of the flaws that had relegated them to a second round NIT exit the year prior. After a halftime deficit that had ballooned all the way into the teens, Oregon was unable to string points together in the second half and fell, 69-56.
Oregon’s first half was plagued by poor shooting, inefficient passing, and turnovers. With a halftime shooting line of 29.2% from the field, 57.1% from the free throw line, and 0-7 from deep range, the Ducks were only able to put 22 points on the board. And that doesn't even scrape the surface of the eight turnovers to just four assists. The lone bright spot of the first half was veteran…
