Great start so far. Oregon is driving to the basket at will right now, hitting the offensive glass hard, and really getting after Arizona defensively.

After a hot start, they really cooled down and the game is tied at 34 at half.

Richardson and Duarte are struggling mightily on the offensive end. Plus, Duarte looks to have injured his ankle again. That's not good with Williams not available today.

Nice win. Fought through cold nights by Richardson and Duarte until Duarte turned it up down the stretch. Huge three by Figueroa with a minute left and then Duarte with what proved to be the game-winner.

Watched the last 10 minutes of the game, and I feel like it's very often with Altman teams where you think they're gonna lose then somehow they win. If I had one word to describe Altman teams, it'd be tough, he almost always seems to have mentally tough teams that finds ways to win games late on the road or at home. After Omoruyi's consecutive travels and Duarte's bad 1v5 attempt with two consecutives threes for Arizona, I was confident Oregon was going to throw the game away, but somehow they pulled it out. Big three from Duarte to redeem a game that's certainly below his standards.

Always nice to get the road sweep, especially this season with games not being a given.

Wow great win! We had opportunities to pull away and Arizona was not shooting well, but hey, a win is a win!
