MBB GameThread: Oregon Ducks vs Long Beach State 49ers

The Ducks wrap up a quick two game week at home as the Long Beach State 49ers come to town. The 49ers are led by guard Nick Faust who is a transfer from Maryland. In all games as a 49er, Faust has yet to be held to a single digit scoring output. Long Beach State started off the year 3-0 only to drop their next four games. The only other Pac-12 opponent the 49ers have played so far were the UCLA Bruins who they lost to by seven in Los Angeles. The 49ers play an up-tempo style of game led by their athleticism, a style that could feed right into the hands of Dana Altman and his squad.
