The Oregon Ducks got off to a slow start to the new year, but a rally in the first half allowed them to come back and utilize a strong second half against the Utah Utes, eventually picking up their first conference victory of the year, 79-66.
Oregon looked to be showing some rust early on after not having played a game since December 21st, but they eventually shook that off and were able to ride a hot hand from Jacob Young in the second half and beat the Utes. While the season didn’t start how Oregon had hoped, the Ducks seem to be getting some things figured out as they get into the meat of their conference schedule.
