Both teams shot better than fifty percent from the floor and the game had twelve ties and Oregon again did enough in the end to pick up the win. In the Pac-12 this season home wins are especially important since Oregon will play just three more games at home and the rest of the schedule this season on the road. Joseph Young was again impressive for Oregon breaking through another career milestone on the night.
Young not only hit the game winning shot in the end but in the game hit the two-thousand point mark in his NCAA Career. He was twelve of twenty-one from the floor and teammates Elgin Cook had sixteen points. Oregon also picked up key rebounds from Jordan Bell and Dillon Brooks, each with eight on the night.
Momentum has again found it’s way to Oregon, after several disappointing losses to Arizona at home and Washington and Washington State on the road. Now, can they use it to their advantage? Oregon hosts Washington State on Saturday afternoon at 4pm on the Pac-12 Networks.
