Oregon Ducks Game Plan
At this point early on in the season, it’s becoming clear that the Ducks are going to live and die based on their shooting percentage. That may seem like a statement that rings true for all teams, but the Ducks have been so hot and cold to start the season that it’s unclear which version of the team we will see each game.
One thing to watch as we go forward, though, is Oregon’s ability to use size in the paint, especially with the return of N’Faly Dante. The big man got some run in the BYU game and played valuable minutes against Chaminade as well. If Dana Altman can roll out a consistent lineup with him and Franck Kepnang on the floor together, it will be hard for teams to stop, and score on.
Saint Mary’s certainly has some size in the middle, especially with 7-foot-4 center Matt Von Komen. Oregon will need to be solid in the paint in order to come out on top in this game.
