The 8-seeded Oregon Ducks came into the Big Ten Tournament as one of the hottest teams in the country, riding a seven-game winning streak and playing its best basketball at the right time. Statistically, they were similar to their second round matchup, Indiana, though the Hoosiers had a slight scoring edge in conference play (74.2 PPG scored vs. 74.4 PPG allowed). However, the Ducks had been better defensively, averaging 6.8 steals and 4.2 blocks per game than the Headin’ Home Hoosiers. Oregon will play MSU in Game 8 of the Big Ten Tourney on Friday for the right to play in the conference semifinals.
