At A Glance
- No. 11 Oregon Ducks (17-2, 6-0 Pac-12) — Through 19 games, UO owns the seventh highest scoring margin in the country at 17.3… The Ducks are undefeated in conference play, having beaten their Pac-12 opponents by an average of 21.8 points. Oregon most recently topped California on Thursday, 86-63, behind Jordan Bell’s career night. The big man loaded the stat sheet with a career-best 26 points on 11-of-12 shooting, along with six boards, four blocks and three steals. Tyler Dorsey added 16 points, Casey Benson added 15 and Dillon Brooks totaled 10 before leaving late in the first half with a lower left leg injury. The preseason All-American, who missed the first four games of the season after having surgery on his left foot, has been reported to be in a walking boot… With the win over the Golden Bears, the Ducks matched a 104-year-old school record with 15 straight wins; extended their home-game winning streak to 36, the second longest active streak in the country behind Kansas (49); and guaranteed their seventh consecutive winning season, a feat that hasn’t been accomplished at UO in 77 years… Dana Altman also notched his 20th straight winning season as a head coach, joining five other active coaches in the exclusive club: Jim Boeheim, Mike Krzyzewski, Roy Williams, Bill Self and Tom Izzo.
It takes a team to win 15 straight, which ties a 104-year-old @oregonmbb record.
