What you need to know about Oregon
Everything went Oregon's way against the Portland Pilots on Wednesday as the Ducks made off with a 96-71 win. Among those leading the charge for the Ducks was center N'Faly Dante, who had 20 points along with nine boards. De'Vion Harmon (19), Quincy Guerrier (17) and Will Richardson (16) also scored in double-figures in the victory.
The win helped ended a two-game losing skid and Altman's squad will need to keep piling up victories to return to the NCAA Tournament after five early-season losses. After being one of the top 3-point shooting teams in the nation a season ago (23rd nationally), Oregon is hitting just 33.6 percent of its attempts from beyond the arc this season and it will have to shoot better against a stout Baylor defense on Saturday night.
What you need to know about Baylor
Meanwhile, Baylor made easy work of the Villanova Wildcats on Sunday and carried off a 57-36 victory. Baylor guard James Akinjo filled up the stat sheet, picking up 16 points and five assists in addition to seven rebounds. The Bears limited the Wildcats to just 22.2 percent shooting in their biggest win to date.
And while it wasn't a great performance by the Baylor offense last weekend, the Bears are averaging 81.0 points per game and shooting an impressive 47.5 percent as a team. Sophomore guard LJ Cryer leads Baylor in scoring (14.6 ppg) and he's shooting 52.6 percent from the floor and 47.2 percent from the 3-point line.
