EUGENE, Ore. (AP) – Last time out for the Ducks, E.J. Singler hit a running bank shot with 2 seconds left and Oregon defeated Creighton to win the College Basketball Invitational.
The victory in the best-of-three BCI championship punctuated an eventful season for the Ducks. They were playing their first year under coach Dana Altman, and opened the stunning new Matthew Knight Arena. Oregon also finished 21-18, far surpassing most expectations.
Now it’s up to the Ducks to make this season eventful, too.
It will likely be a season of adjustment for Oregon, which has eight newcomers, including five transfers. Singler, who played in every game for the Ducks last season, is the Ducks’ top returning scorer, with an average of 11.7 points and 5.6 rebounds.
