The Oregon Ducks will look to continue their winning ways on the road against the Boise State Broncos on Saturday night. While Tyler Dorsey is nursing a sprained knee following a fall that looked a lot worse against UNLV last week, the Ducks may have a key member of last season’s Defense back in Shot Blocker Jordan Bell against Boise State. Bell has been practicing with the team over the last week and Saturday could mark his 2015 debut with the Oregon Ducks.

Oregon is 7-1 on the season and ranked 24th. Here is a quick catch-up of that happened last time out:

  • The Ducks had four players in double figures against Navy
  • Chris Boucher had a double double with 14 points and 14 rebounds
  • Dwayne Benjamin hit 5 of 9 shots from beyond the arc.

The Oregon Ducks now head to Boise State who are 6-4 on the season and on a three game winning streak. The player to watch for the Broncos is James Webb III who in 42 games with the Broncos leads in the rebounding category in 32 games according to ESPN. Anthony Drmic is averaging close to 15 points per game this season and Boise State puts up close to 80 points per game with 35 rebounds.

The Oregon Defense will get back Shot Blocker Jordan Bell. Chris Boucher has been holding down the fort near the rim for the Oregon Ducks so far this season and has done better than an admirable job being able to also put up points on the Offensive side of the ball to go with stellar Defense.
