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.
