The Oregon Ducks men’s basketball team hasn’t seen a lot of action, but Eric Williams, Jr. has seen even less.
Williams hadn’t scored in the last three games, but he came up huge in Corvallis as his three-pointer with 12 seconds left broke a 74-74 tie and the Ducks held on 78-76.
Oregon State’s Warith Alatishe had a point-blank attempt at the buzzer to send the game into overtime, but his shot rattled off the rim to send the Ducks back to Eugene as happy campers.
The win over the Beavers was an important one considering the Ducks’ upcoming road trip to No. 3 UCLA and No. 5 USC this coming weekend.
Now Oregon is 9-6 overall and 2-2 in conference action and it has some momentum on its side as the team is finally beginning to gel.
