It was not the start on the road that Oregon wanted or needed as the 4th ranked team in the country. Dylan Ennis and Jordan Bell were two bright spots early against the Baylor Bears.
Bell racked up 7 rebounds, 4 blocks and 2 steals in the first half. Payton Pritchard had the hot hand and landed a 3 pointer and Dylan Ennis put up 11 with 3 rebounds in the first half. The Bears shot 44 percent while holding Oregon at 28 percent and led in rebounds by 5 entering the locker room with a 33-23 lead.
Oregon could not stop Manu Lecomte who was perfect in the first half with 18 points for Baylor. He was 4-4 on Field Goals, 3 for 3 from beyond the arc and 2 for 2 from the charity stripe.
The second half saw Oregon start off fast, but it was Baylor who had the momentum from the first half. They rode the wave the rest of the game. Johnathan Motley finished with 17 points, LeComte had 18 for the Baylor Bears.
Oregon saw their first loss of the season despite Dylan Ennis and Chris Boucher putting in 15 and 12 respectively. Jordan Bell also finished the game with 4 blocks. The Ducks shot 3 of 21 from three point range.
