For the first time in what feels like all season, or at least since Bol Bol’s injury, Oregon came out of the gates on fire. Bouncing back from a heart-breaking loss to UCLA in overtime, King and company took advantage of a shortened bench with USC’s star guard, Kevin Porter Jr. suspended indefinitely.
The Ducks found their range from deep early on hitting 6-13 in the first half. Once in rhythm, Oregon controlled the game. Ball movement was a major key in their ability to get wide-open looks routinely from beyond the arch, finishing the game with 16 assists.
