In its biggest remaining home game of the season, in front of just its second sellout crowd since 2018-19, Oregon had its worst shooting performance of the season. Nate Bittle scored 18 points and had a career-high six blocks and Jackson Shelstad added 15 points for the No.

Purdue won the Big Ten by three games last season, despite three road losses. Yet it also went to Champaign and beat its closest competitor — the Illini — in the penultimate game of the regular season.

Oregon beat itself up for much of this game, and bad shot selection, silly turnovers, and a lack of rebounding were its downfalls. One solace the Ducks can take away is that most of their mistakes are fixable mistakes, but there’s a lot of fixing before the Ducks host Washington Tuesday night.
