In reality, it’s not like the Oregon Ducks played poorly on Thursday night against the Arizona Wildcats.
The final score, an 91-76 Arizona victory, may paint the picture of a lopsided win in which we saw the bad version of the Ducks.

Instead, it was another loss for the Ducks, but not one that is too detrimental to Oregon’s postseason hopes. With some big games remaining on the schedule, Dana Altman’s squad is still in a position to make some noise late in the season. Here’s how everything went down on Thursday.
