It has been a long time since Oregon Men’s Basketball had as imposing of a post squad as it currently does. And on a night when Oregon’s outside shots were drawing far more iron than net, the big men sealed the deal for the Ducks’ 80-45 victory over Florida A&M to begin the 2022-23 campaign.
Oregon starting center N’Faly Dante tallied 16 points and 10 rebounds, Nate Bittle provided 10 points off the bench, and freshman big man Kel’el Ware added eight points, five rebounds, and three blocked shots. The post play proved to be the high point offensively as Oregon struggled shooting the ball from deep, connecting on only 24% of their attempts.
