Oregon Basketball: Victor Bailey Gets Ducks Back On Track vs Nebraska Omaha
Oregon Basketball picked up a win over Nebraska Omaha as four players hit double figures in an 84-61 win.
It was Victor Bailey Jr. who made the most of his 20 minutes of playing time picking up 20 points off 4 for 5 shooting from three-point range and helping Oregon to better than 50 percent from three-point range. Bol Bol shot 8 for 14 from the floor and finished the game with two fouls, including a technical foul. He also had a highlight play with a shot through his legs that someone who is 7 foot 3 should not be able to make.
Bol finished with another double-double with 20 points and 10 rebounds.
The Oregon Ducks had 10 turnovers in the game to Nebraska Omaha with 8. However, Oregon made more from the opportunity scoring 10 points off 5 of those turnovers. Both teams finished with 5 steals.
The development of Kenny Wooten as an Offensive force is a story to follow this season. The Sophomore typically known for his Defensive Prowess and blocking ability near the rim had his biggest offensive game of the season leading Oregon with 20 points off 9 for 12 shooting and 5 rebounds.

Payton Pritchard was quiet from the floor with 7 points off 3 for 8 shooting but had a big hand with 7 assists on the night – a role that we could see him in more this season with the emergence of Will Richardson at the point guard position. It is clear that Head Coach Dana Altman is still tinkering somewhat with who works best on the floor in certain situations and has said that Richardson has better finesse with the ball.
Louis King made his Oregon debut against Nebraska Omaha and finished with 11 points in 16 minutes. Oregon finished strong hitting a perfect final five shots to win the game and get to 5-3 on the season. The Ducks are also 4-1 at Matthew Knight Arena.
