The Oregon Ducks are coming off a complete road win over Washington and look to continue against Washington State.

Dillon Brooks saw early foul trouble with 4 fouls, but that did not stop the Oregon Men’s Basketball team from dominating the Washington Huskies earlier this week. Washington was one of the hottest 3 point shooting teams and they managed just 4 for 16 on the night vs Oregon. On the other hand Tyler Dorsey made it his personal journey to drop 28 points and 8 three-pointers on the Huskies. Brooks did not see the floor for a good part of the second half, but it didn’t matter.

The Ducks and Cougars are both undefeated in Pac-12 play and Oregon will look to knock off their third undefeated Pac-12 team in their last four games on Saturday. Washington State is led by Josh Hawkinson averaging 16 points per game. He is hitting 50 percent from the field and hitting just under 30 percent from three point range.

"Last Time Out:Despite foul trouble on the part of the Oregon Ducks, Tyler Dorsey was a one man show putting in 8 three pointers and netting 28 points. Despite an injury, Jordan Bell returned to help the Defense. He ended the game with 10 points and 11 rebounds against the Washington Huskies."

Both teams come in with momentum. While the Oregon Ducks have won 11 straight, Washington State has taken their last four and will look to make it five in a row against the Ducks. The Cougars are averaging 72 points per game this season, but the Ducks are better overall with 80 points per contest.
