The Oregon Ducks faced their biggest game of the season on Thursday night hosting the USC Trojans at Matthew Knight Arena. A win would set a tie at the top of the Pac-12 Conference between the Ducks and Trojans. The Oregon Starters were the usual in Dillon Brooks, Chris Boucher, Elgin Cook, Tyler Dorsey, and Casey Benson.
The Trojans would start the game with the ball and pull out to an early lead, but shots by Chris Boucher and Elgin Cook would keep the Oregon Ducks close in the opening minutes. USC stated the game hitting two of three from beyond the arc.
