WACO, TEXAS – One day after moving up to No. 4 in the Associated Press top 25, the Oregon men’s basketball team might not be staying there long.
The Ducks struggled offensively and made just three 3-pointers in a 66-49 loss to the unranked Baylor Bears on Tuesday in Waco, TX. Oregon shot just 32-percent from the floor and made only 3-of-21 from long range.
Baylor used a zone defense to keep the Ducks off balance and raced to a 10-point lead at halftime. Oregon scored the first nine points of the second half to get within one, but it was as close as the Ducks would get. Dylan Ennis led Oregon with 16 points. Chris Boucher finished with 12 points for the Ducks and Jordan Bell had 11 rebounds.
The Ducks are now 1-1 on the year and will face Valparaiso at home on Thursday before heading to Hawaii for the Maui Invitational next week.
