Finally, a return to action. After a long, covid-related layoff, the Ducks finally returned to action Saturday night against their in-state rivals, the Oregon State Beavers. However, this Oregon team took the court without two key players, as Chris Duarte and LJ Figueroa missed the game due to contact-tracing. Luckily, frosh guard Jalen Terry was able to return to the team after missing the past few games, giving Oregon the minimum eight scholarship players they needed in order to play.
First Half:
The game started in a back-and forth affair, as Oregon traded buckets with the Beavers, trying to find their rhythm without Duarte and Figueroa.
