How the Ducks match up with Washington State in Round 2 of Pac-12 Tournament

The Ducks are 1-1 against WSU this season. So what are some keys to victory against the Cougars in tomorrow’s Pac-12 Tourney game?

This is why the Oregon Ducks men’s basketball team worked so hard late in the season to receive a first-round bye in the Pac-12 tournament.

The 4-seeded Ducks will take on the 5-seed Washington State team after the Cougars took down California 69-52 in the first round down in Las Vegas.

Now the Ducks and Cougars will meet in the quarterfinals with a scheduled tip time of 2:30 pm PST on the Pac-12 Network. The two teams split their two meetings this season with each team winning on their home floor.

The winner of the Oregon game will take on the winner between Colorado and UCLA.

In order for the Ducks to advance past WSU, winners of eight straight, they’ll have to play better than they did in the Palouse where a late rally fell short.
