Oregon Ducks Need Another Complete Game Effort Against Arizona Wildcats
The Oregon Ducks will look for Back to Back Road Wins vs Arizona.
Oregon put together their best game of the year led by two Senior Transfers, Elijah Brown and MiKyle McIntosh on Thursday night against Arizona State. The Ducks picked up their first Pac-12 Road win over a Top 15 team in over ten years and will look to put together a winning streak against the Wildcats.
Arizona started the season ranked high, but fell following three straight non-conference losses. The Wildcats sit at 17th in the Associated Press poll this week and were able to take care of Oregon State by 9 points on Thursday. The Wildcats are undefeated at home this season entering the game with Oregon. Allonzo Trier is the Arizona player to watch.
Trier put in 21 points against Oregon State and has a team-high eight games with 20 or more points this season for Arizona. The Wildcats don’t lose at home. They have won 79 of 81 games going back to the 2012 season. Oregon snapped a 49 game Wildcat Winning Streak last season at McKale and hope for a similar outcome on Saturday afternoon.
The X-Factor for the Oregon Ducks is Paul White. He has put the team on his shoulders several times this season when teammates were struggling. He can find the shot inside as well as hit a key three-pointer when needed. White played a big role against Arizona State. For the game against Arizona, the Ducks Big Men will need to stay out of foul trouble.
