That’s going to continue on Friday evening against Oregon State.
The Beavers were subjected to a red-hot Oregon offense just last week in an 80-67 Duck win, ruining Oregon State’s senior day. They’re going to see more of the same from the Ducks here in the semifinal with a trip to the championship on the line.
Oregon will catch fire from 3-point range early on and that will carry over into the second half as the Ducks build an early five-point lead, going into the locker room up seven and then just add to that in the second half on the back of a huge game from Chris Duarte and the 3-point shooting offense.
For the second straight time, the Ducks will beat the Beavers by double digits and score at least 80 points in the process.
Oregon is getting hot at the right time, folks.
