The men of Oregon completed their swing through the Evergreen State with an 89-84 victory over the Cougars in Pullman to extend their current winning streak to five games. The Cougars used aggressive game play to keep it close, out scoring the Ducks 34-24 in the paint and attempting 27 free throws to only 14 for Oregon. Despite this, Washington State never led by more than 2 points, and missed their last chance to defeat the Ducks at home as a conference opponent.
Oregon’s shooting from the floor ultimately kept the Cougars at bay. The Ducks had a very respectable 58% accuracy from the floor, but far more impressively were just as accurate from beyond the arc making 14-24 three point shots.
