Oregon Men’s Basketball: Ducks vs Utah Utes Cheat Sheet

The Oregon Ducks host the Utah Utes, looking to extend a five-game winning streak at Matthew Knight Arena on Friday night.

Utah comes in winning two of their last four games and were without leading scorer David Collette who is averaging 13 points per game. Collette is a game-time decision against Oregon.

The team has four players hitting better than 50 percent from the floor with two players in Lorenzo Bonam and Devon Daniels hitting better than 46 percent from beyond the arc.

Collette is the inside threat and could keep Oregon busy inside the paint for most of the night with Paul White out for the game. White was in concussion protocol from last week and still has not practiced with the team according to Head Coach Dana Altman. In their last home game, it was three-pointers that led to a win vs Northwestern State.

The Utah Utes dropped 15 three-pointers as a team, but the Utes are 0-3 in Pac-12 Conference openers on the road. Utah has never won a game at Matthew Knight Arena. The Utes face Oregon and Oregon State this weekend then return home to meet Arizona and Arizona State at the Huntsman Center.
