Oregon Ducks Cap Regular Season With Blowout Over Oregon State
Oregon State put up a fight, but in the end Oregon proved too much to win a share of the Pac-12 Title in the final game of the regular season.
The Oregon Ducks had three players score in double leading with Dillon Brooks who took charge from the tipoff. He had 25 points against OSU in the 80-59 win. Jordan Bell had a double double with 13 points and 10 rebounds. Oregon finished the game hitting 52 percent from the floor while holding Oregon State to 34 percent.
Oregon State led in rebounds 40-35, but the Oregon Ducks pulled away with 33 points off the bench. All but one player on the floor had point for Head Coach Dana Altman. Casey Benson sparked a key run in the first half and was 3 for 6 from beyond the arc. Oregon had 18 assists led by Freshman Payton Pritchard with 6.
The Oregon Ducks now head South to Las Vegas as the Number One Seed in the Pac-12 Tournament next week. Oregon finishes the Regular Season at 27-4(16-2, Pac-12). When the season began the Ducks they were ranked 4th. There is a good chance with North Carolina losing this past week that Oregon may be in the same spot starting the Pac-12 Tournament.
