After making the NCAA Tournament for the last five seasons, including the last two Elite Eights, Oregon made it over the hump to reach their first Final Four under Head Coach Dana Altman. The Ducks shot the lights out clipping 60 percent from the floor in the first half quieting a Kansas City, Missouri crowd that was heavily favoring the Jayhawks.
Jordan Bell had eight blocks and his second double double with 11 points and 13 rebounds. He was 5 for 6 from the field. Tyler Dorsey had another big game for Oregon and added 27 points. It was his eighth straight 20+ point performance.
