The Pilots almost upset then-No. 1 North Carolina, beat Villanova by 12 and lost by one to then-No. 12 Michigan State at the PK85.

Sharpshooting Ducks Sink Pilots
 

Oregon matched its season high with 12 three-pointers Saturday in a 78-56 win over Portland.

On a night the opposition wasn't about to let N'Faly Dante have his way in the post, Oregon's shooters stepped up.

 

"We have Dante; most teams are going to double-team him if they're smart," said Rivaldo Soares, who made 4-of-5 threes on the night.

"You've just got to be ready for those type of plays. I was ready tonight — a bunch of us were."
