Can Oregon Ducks Maintain Momentum at CU Events Center?
As the Oregon Ducks prepare to face the Colorado Buffaloes at the CU Events Center, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their impressive run. The Ducks have been on a winning streak, showcasing a balanced attack and solid defense in their recent games.
In their last matchup against the California Golden Bears, the Ducks secured an 80-73 victory. They demonstrated efficiency from beyond the arc with a three-point shooting percentage of 36 and maintained a higher assist-to-turnover ratio than their opponents. Their ability to convert assists and minimize turnovers has been a key factor in controlling game tempo and securing wins.
The Ducks' performance on the road has also been noteworthy. In an intense battle against Washington State Cougars, they emerged victorious with an 89-84 scoreline, once again displaying lethal accuracy from three-point range by hitting 58 percent of their attempts. This sharpshooting prowess will be crucial as they head into Boulder.
Defense has equally contributed to Oregon's success; during their visit to Washington Huskies' home court, they racked up nine steals and six blocks, which helped them clinch a tight win with a score of 76-74. Their defensive tenacity could disrupt Colorado's offensive schemes.
Fans should expect another thrilling contest as both teams vie for dominance in this conference game. The venue may pose challenges for Oregon due to altitude factors at Boulder that can affect players' stamina and performance; however, if recent trends are any indication, the Ducks seem poised to tackle these obstacles head-on.
The upcoming game is scheduled for January 19th at 8:30 PM Pacific Time at CU Events Center in Boulder, CO. Fans can catch all the action live on Fox Sports 1 channel 219.
