Oregon Men’s Basketball: Ducks Host Wisconsin in NIT Third Round

The Oregon Ducks (21-14) host the Wisconsin Badgers (19-14) tonight in their first meeting since the first round of the 2019 NCAA tournament, a game that the Ducks won 72-54.

The Badgers lost in the first round of the Big Ten tournament to Ohio State. Wisconsin defeated Bradley and then Liberty to earn the right to face Oregon, with the winner punching a ticket to Las Vegas.

The Badgers player to watch, and the player that the Ducks need to contain, is 7-0 junior Steven Crowl. Crowl averages 12.3 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. He can take over a game, so the Ducks big men need to step up.
