MBB Recap: Oregon Ducks blown out by 27 points vs. Colorado

The Ducks got run out of the gym in Boulder, shooting 7% from 3FG and 57% from the FT line in a 27-point loss.

What started out as an awful game for the Oregon Ducks never got better.

It had to be a frustrating night for Dana Altman and the bunch. After news came out before the game that guys like Nate Bittle, Jermaine Couisnard, and Ethan Butler would finally be returning from injuries to be able to play, the Ducks were a complete no-show against the Colorado Buffaloes, getting blown out 68-41.

The Ducks scored just 19 points in the first half, going 0-for-7 from deep, and the poor effort and shooting continued throughout the second half.

On the first half of the mountain road trip, Oregon played some uninspiring basketball. They will face another tough test on Saturday night against the Utah Utes in what has now become a must-win game for the Ducks if they are going to have any hopes of making it to the NCAA Tournament.

Instant reaction: Dan Lanning’s inexperience finally costs the Ducks

A couple of calls went against the Ducks down the stretch. It was a good learning experience for a young coach.

Bo Nix was jumping up and down begging to come back in next to Dan Lanning.

Instead, the Ducks decided to keep in backup Ty Thompson for a 4th-and-1 on their own 33-yard line. Running back Noah Whittington slipped down and failed to get the first down, which set Washington up for a game-winning field goal and the Huskies upset Oregon 37-34.

Nix seemingly suffered a knee injury at the end of a 20-play, 91-drive that ultimately ended up with a field goal for the 34-27 lead. A touchdown would have been crucial there, but Oregon settled for a field goal.

That was four points too little because Washington quarterback Michael Penix, Jr. tore the Oregon secondary to shreds with 408 yards through the air. Washington tied the game with just three minutes to go on a 62-yard bomb. That was the second long pass for a touchdown for the Huskies.

Oregon was burned for a 76-yard touchdown in third quarter in a back-and-forth 15 minutes of action after the timeout.

Even with the loss, the Ducks control their own destiny to reach the Pac-12 title game in December with a win over Utah and Oregon State.
