C Oumar Ballo C N’Faly Dante
This season, Oregon was picked to finish third behind UCLA and Arizona but is 3-3 in the conference after a potentially dispiriting loss to ASU on Thursday at Matthew Knight Arena. Before a crowd of just 5,955 fans, the Ducks trailed by up to 29 points in the second half before losing 90-73. Two of Oregon’s double-digit scorers, Will Richardson and forward Quincy Guerrier , are the only significant 3-point threats, with the 6-8 Guerrier actually taking more shots from beyond the arc than inside it. In the post, N’Faly Dante is beginning to finally live up to his five-star high school hype, averaging 13.0 points and 7.1 rebounds while shooting 60.4% from two-point range and drawing an average of 5.5 fouls per 40 minutes.
“They do a lot of things defensively depending on the game and with when they feel is the best matchup. They had a 1-3-1 . They press into a matchup zone. They have a normal man, and do different things with their man. They certainly have the tools to create troubles with teams.If it seems like Richardson is back for his eighth season as a Duck, that’s understandable.
The Sun Devils hit 13 of 29 3-pointers while shooting 52.4% overall, held Oregon to 42.4% shooting and outrebounded the listless Ducks 37-29. ASU led by up to 29 points in what the Oregonian noted was the Ducks’ most lopsided home loss in eight seasons.
