As the Oregon Ducks prepare to face off against the Utah Utes at the Jon M. Huntsman Center, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent performance trends. The Ducks have shown a strong game with a mix of victories and close contests in their past matchups.

In their last game against the Cowgirls, the Ducks secured a win with 70 points over 63, showcasing an impressive defensive effort with 10 blocks and maintaining a solid field goal percentage of 49 percent. Their three-point shooting was particularly notable at 47 percent, indicating that they have reliable shooters who can make significant contributions from beyond the arc.

However, in an earlier encounter with Utah Tech's Trailblazers, despite scoring an impressive 86 points and achieving a field goal percentage of 47 percent along with a three-point shooting rate of 46 percent, it wasn't enough to secure victory as they fell short by six points in a high-scoring affair that ended at 92-86.
