Defensive Effort Helps Ducks Reach 4-0

EUGENE, Ore. — A stifling defensive effort helped the Oregon men's basketball team remain unbeaten on the season Sunday evening, when the No. 14 Ducks held Texas-Arlington to 23 percent shooting in a 67-47 victory before 6,017 fans in Matthew Knight Arena.

Texas-Arlington was averaging 76.7 points entering the day, leaning on outside shooters who were putting up nearly 36 three-point attempts per game. The Mavericks put up 30 against the Ducks, making only six, but also were just 9-of-34 on two-point attempts, 26.5 percent.

"I thought we did a pretty good job of challenging their shooters," UO coach Dana Altman said.
