It’s still only November, but Oregon Men’s Basketball already appears to be facing an uphill battle this season.
After at least producing a competitive game against one of the highest-ranked teams in the nation, the Ducks were easily routed by the Top 20 UCONN Huskies in their opening contest of the PK85 Invitational 83-59.
Oregon’s only wins so far have been blowouts against clearly inferior opponents outside of their division. In the three games against higher-caliber opponents, Oregon has been completely outplayed, and never even managed to score 60 points.
Thursday was no different as Oregon was dismal offensively, with the only bright spots again being their post players as N’Faly Dante and Kel’el Ware scored, rebounded, and defended well.
