The Oregon Ducks will look to close out the non-conference slate strong with a win on Tuesday night against Western Oregon, but the Wolves come in undefeated on a nine game winning streak. There is not much recent history between the two teams. The last time they met was back in 1934. They met in 2014 in an exhibition game that did not count toward the standings.
Last time out, Dana Altman saw Oregon get past a tough test in Alabama:
- Four players scored in double figures, led by Dylan Brooks with 23
- Oregon again shot well at 80 percent from the free throw line
- It was the third straight win for Oregon
- The Oregon Defense had 9 blocks and 2 steals vs Alabama
The Oregon Ducks will also likely welcome Dylan Ennis to the team officially on Tuesday night. Ennis transferred from Villanova in the offseason and has been hampered by a foot injury so far in 2015.
First game tomorrow with my Ducks! Just excited to finally get to go to battle with my bros. Thanking God for allowing me to play this game!
