UO release – EUGENE, Ore. — The Oregon men’s basketball team built some momentum entering its showdown with the top team in the country, beating Portland in Matthew Knight Arena on Wednesday, 96-71. The Ducks (6-5) enjoyed their best offensive performance of the season so far, with a season-high point total on 53.6 percent shooting. That was a welcome performance three days before hosting No.1-ranked Baylor at MKA on Saturday. “We know they’re really good defensively,” senior Quincy Guerrier said of the Bears, who allow the third-fewest points in the country. “So we’re going to have to really execute our offense and make sure everybody’s on the same page.” Four Ducks scored in double figures Wednesday, including N’Faly Dante with a season-high 20 points and De’Vion Harmon with a season-high 19. Quincy Guerrier added 17 points and Will Richardson scored 16.
