Oregon Ducks Set to Host Arizona State Sun Devils at Matthew Knight Arena

As the Oregon Ducks prepare to welcome the Arizona State Sun Devils to the Matthew Knight Arena, fans are anticipating a thrilling encounter. The Ducks have been showcasing a strong performance trend, with their recent games indicating an upward trajectory in their play.

In their last game against Kent State's Golden Flashes, the Ducks secured an impressive victory with 84 points against 70. Their offensive efficiency was evident as they shot approximately 67 percent from two-point range and maintained a commendable field goal percentage of around 47 percent. Their defense was not left behind either; they managed to block six shots and steal eight times, contributing significantly to their win.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing in previous matches. When facing Syracuse's Orange away from home, the Ducks fell short with 63 points against Syracuse's commanding 83 points. Despite this setback, there were still positives to draw upon – such as maintaining a solid two-point shooting percentage of around 53 percent and securing nine steals.

The game prior saw another win for Oregon at home against California Baptist's Lancers with a scoreline of 76-55. The team showed balanced play on both ends of the court – converting half of their three-point attempts and nearly matching that efficiency inside the arc while also playing disciplined defense.

With these trends in mind, fans can expect Oregon Ducks' focus on maintaining high shooting accuracy and leveraging their defensive prowess to control the game pace against Arizona State Sun Devils.

The upcoming match is scheduled for January 26th at Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene, OR. Fans eager to catch every dribble can tune into Pac-12 Network for live coverage of what promises to be an engaging basketball showcase between these competitive teams.
