The Oregon Ducks moved up in the AP Poll after Kansas lost last week.

Head Coach Dana Altman may not have his team where they need to be on the court, but the Associated Press has the Oregon Ducks as the 4th best team in the country behind Villanova, Kentucky and Duke.

The Oregon Ducks are the highest ranked Pac-12 Conference team in this week’s poll with Arizona cracking the Top 10 and UCLA at 16 after a big win and the California Golden Bears making an appearance at 25.

Oregon dispatched Army on Friday night. The Bruins picked up a home win over Pacific 119-80 setting a new record with 18 3-pointers. Cal handled South Dakota State 82-53.

Against the Black Knights, Oregon shot 45 percent from the floor. The play of Freshman Payton Pritchard stood out with 15 points, 4 assists, and 2 blocks on the night. Five players scored in double figures led by Tyler Dorsey with 21 points. Dorsey was also 4 for 6 from beyond the arc.
