In a game where every player’s mind could have been somewhere else, the Oregon Ducks men’s basketball team focused and defeated Kent State 84-70.
This was the last non-conference contest of the season and right before everyone went home for the holidays. Oregon finished the non-league portion of the schedule 8-3 as it will soon prepare for the grind that is the Pac-12.
Jermaine Couisnard finished with a double-double of 27 points and 10 rebounds and Jackson Shelstad added 15 points and five assists.
Although the Ducks had a goose egg for three-pointers in the second half, they were able to compensate by going to the free-throw line and making 19-of-25 from the stripe.
Kent State stayed in the game with 11 threes, but it wasn’t nearly enough.
