Quincy Guerrier finds a new home in the Big Ten

Former Oregon forward Quincy Guerrier has announced his next stop will be Champagne, Illinois to play for the Fighting Illini.

Former Oregon Ducks forward Quincy Guerrier has announced via Twitter that he will finish out his college career at Illinois. The 6-foot-8 Montreal native will have one season of eligibility remaining.

Guerrier came to the Ducks from Syracuse and he then spent the last two seasons in Eugene where he averaged 9.3 points and five rebounds a game, but his numbers and role with the team went down this past season.

Illinois finished 20-13 this past season and was one of the last entrants into the NCAA tournament where the Fighting Illini were bounced out by Arkansas 73-63 in the first round.

Guerrier is used to wearing orange from his time at Syracuse, but now it’ll be trimmed with some dark blue. He also fits the profile of a Big Ten player, strong, and physical, but also versatile, something Illinois could use in 2023-24.

Quincy Guerrier is officially moving on and into the transfer portal

Oregon senior forward Quincy Guerrier announced he will be leaving the Ducks and officially entering the transfer portal.

The roster for the 2023-24 Oregon Ducks men’s basketball team is being clearer and clearer.

A day after center N’Faly Dante surprised fans to delight by saying he was turning, Oregon forward Quincy Guerrier announced via Twitter that he will use up his last year of eligibility somewhere other than Eugene and enter the NCAA transfer portal.

Guerrier came to the Ducks from Syracuse and he them spent the last two seasons as a Duck where he averaged 9.3 points and five rebounds a game, but his numbers and role with the team went down this past season. His free throw percentage and rebounds went down, but his three-point numbers went up.

Where he ends up will be interesting. That new school will gain a versatile player that can play both on the inside as well as an effective shooter from the outside.

Oregon MBB recap: Richardson’s triple-double leads Ducks over Nevada

Will Richardson’s triple-double leads Oregon over a very good Nevada team 78-65 to get back to a .500 record.

It hasn’t happened in nearly 20 years.

Will Richardson racked up a triple-double with 19 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds in Oregon’s 78-65 win over Nevada. The win put the Ducks back to .500 at 5-5 and the Wolfpack dropped to 8-3.

Luke Jackson was the last Oregon Duck men’s player to accomplish the feat. Of course, Sabrina Ionescu made it a habit throughout her career at Oregon.

Richardson, a fifth-year senior, waited until the waning moments of the game in order to get that 10th board. The game itself was well in hand as Oregon was actively trying to get its point guard that one last rebound.

Not to be overshadowed, however, was Quincy Guerrier’s 26 points and nine rebounds. The Ducks shot the ball well all night long as they were 46 percent from the field and 11-of-27 from downtown.

Oregon MBB recap: Richardson and Guerrier lead Ducks to victory

Will Richardson, Quincy Guerrier and a bunch of inspired role players propelled Oregon to a much-needed win.

Oregon had six scholarship players available and a walk-on started the game.

Despite the enormous adversity, Dana Altman somehow found a way to coach his team to victory. Oregon improved to 2-3 on the season with a 74-67 win over Villanova in the last game of the PK85 Invitational at the Chiles Center.

Guard Will Richardson had his second straight outstanding performance with 19 points and eight assists and forward Quincy Guerrier joined the party with 21 points and eight rebounds. He also was 6-of-10 from long distance, tying a career-high.

But the Ducks needed more than those two and they received some inspired games from the likes of Gabe Reichle and Lok Wur. Reichle had six boards at the guard position and played good defense while Wur added eight points and some key rebounds in the waning minutes of the game.

Oregon held the lead for the entire game, but Villanova briefly took a three-point lead with under four minutes left. Oregon was able to answer and ended the game on a 14-4 run to secure the victory.

Oregon holds off Ottawa 78-76 in second game of Canadian tour

Ottawa proved itself to be no pushover as they took Oregon to the limit before the Ducks came out on top 78-76.

The Oregon men’s basketball team found itself in a dogfight worthy of any Pac-12 contest.

In the second game of Oregon”s Canadian tour, the University of Ottawa battled the Ducks for the entire 40 minutes and had a last-second 55-footer go wide and Oregon came away with a 78-76 win over the Gee-Gees.

Quincy Guerrier led the way with 18 points with Keeshawn Barthalemy scoring 11 and Kel-El Ware adding 10. South Carolina transfer Jermaine Couisnard just missed a double-double with nine points and nine rebounds.

Ottawa’s Guillaume PĂ©pin led all scorers with 20 points.

In all four quarters, the Ducks would go on a run to extend their lead to double figures, but towards the end of each quarter, Ottawa was able to cut into the lead. Although the Gee-Gees never led, they were always within shouting distance of the Ducks.

Dana Altman mostly likely isn’t happy with the final outcome, but he may be secretly relieved the Ducks were able to play in a close game and come out on top.

Oregon was able to run back its first opponent, McGill, in the first game in Canada, but Ottawa was a different story. The Gee-Gees would be able to hold their own in a small American conference and on their home floor, they definitely gave the Ducks a scare.

It’s no rest for the wary as Oregon will travel to Carleton University in Ottawa to take on the Ravens Tuesday night to make it three games in three days.

Quincy Guerrier to withdraw from NBA draft, return to Oregon Ducks for 2022 season

Quincy Guerrier is coming back to Eugene for another go-around with the Ducks.

The Oregon Ducks signed one player for the 2022 season on Friday morning and got word that another one would be returning to Eugene as well.

On Friday afternoon, forward Quincy Guerrier announced that he would be withdrawing his name from the 2022 NBA Draft and returning to Eugene for one more go-around with the Oregon Ducks.

Guerrier spent one year with Oregon, where he averaged over 10 points and 5 rebounds per game. Before that, Guerrier averaged 10 points and 6 rebounds per game with Syracuse in two seasons.

After what was a disappointing year for the Ducks, Guerrier entered his name in the draft but did not hire an agent so that he could keep his NCAA eligibility and potentially return to school if he so chose.

The roster in Eugene is shaping up, with new recruits coming in and joining returning players N’Faly Dante and Rivaldo Soares. We are also waiting to hear whether or not Will Richardson is going to come back for one more season with the Ducks as well.

Will Richardson, Quincy Guerrier miss out on invites to 2022 NBA Draft Combine

Neither Will Richardson nor Quincy Guerrier will be at the 2022 NBA Draft Combine representing the Ducks.

It became apparent earlier this spring that both Will Richardson and Quincy Guerrier were taking a change at the NBA draft waters and doing what they could to make a leap to the next level rather than returning to the Oregon Ducks for another season.

Unfortunately, it may not be going as planned thus far.

On Tuesday afternoon, the list of invitees for the 2022 NBA Draft Combine was released, and neither Richardson or Guerrier made the cut. Both declared earlier in the year that they were testing the waters to see what their draft stock was like, but neither hired agents so they could potentially return to Eugene for another year under Dana Altman.

There are a total of 7 players from the Pac-12 in the combine, all of whom come from Arizona, UCLA, or Colorado.

Over the coming weeks, we will likely hear more about Richardson and Guerrier and their potential return to Eugene. There is also a chance that they go overseas and choose to play there while keeping an eye on a potential leap to the NBA.

Will Richardson, Quincy Guerrier enter their names into the NBA draft

Will Richardson and Quincy Guerrier have decided to put their names into the NBA draft, but they have until June 1 to make final decision.

It was thought Will Richardson’s time at Oregon was done. But Quincy Guerrier is a different story.

The 6-foot-7 forward, along with Richardson, has entered his name into the NBA draft, but has yet to sign with an agent. Both players have until June to decide which direction they want to go with their next basketball journey.

Having Richardson test out his draft status isn’t a surprise since he went through the Senior Night ceremony in Oregon’s last regular-season home game. It was almost a given the left-handed point guard would be moving on.

Guerrier still has a year left in his eligibility status and until now, it was assumed he would be back in a Duck uniform for the 2022-23 season. In his first season in Eugene, the transfer from Syracuse averaged 10 points a game and 5.3 rebounds. He started all of Oregon’s 35 games.

This news comes a day after De’Vion Harmon announced his intention to transfer out of the program. Losing Guerrier would leave a void on the roster that Dana Altman would have to peruse the transfer portal in order to replace.

How it happened: Colorado’s second half rally erases Oregon’s 6-game winning streak

Oregon saw a 13-0 lead over Colorado evaporate over the course of the game along with its six-game winning streak after an 82-78 loss to the Buffs.

For the second straight game, the Oregon Ducks had a double-digit lead before the fans could settle in their seat with their popcorn.

But unlike Washington two days ago, Colorado was good enough and disciplined enough to get itself back in the game. The Buffaloes erased an early 13-0 deficit to eventually take a lead of their own in the second half.

Unfortunately for the Ducks, they were not able to recover and saw their six-game winning streak go away as Colorado came out of Matthew Knight Arena for the first time since 2013 with a win, 82-78. Oregon also wasted Quincy Guerrier’s best game as a Duck with his 22 points and six rebounds.

These two teams do it all over again in nine days, but the Ducks have never won in Boulder. Oregon falls to 12-7 overall and 5-3 in Pac-12 play.

Everything we know following No. 13 Oregon’s 83-66 season-opening win over Texas Southern

The Ducks looked solid in their first game of the season, beating Texas Southern 83-66. Here’s an instant reaction from the game.

At long last, the Oregon Ducks’ men’s basketball team kicked off its 2021 season at Matthew Knight Arena, picking up a 83-66 season-opening win over Texas Southern.

This was our first opportunity to see a whole host of new players on the roster, several of whom came to Eugene via the transfer portal this offseason.

In a surprise to many, the Ducks started out the game with a small-ball lineup, utilizing three guards and two forwards. They then went on to shoot 19 three-pointers in the first half. That trend continued in the second half, with Oregon attempting 36 for the entire game.
