INDIANAPOLIS — Eugene Omoruyi and Chris Duarte were superlative for Oregon, but the Ducks otherwise struggled with USC's mix of length on defense and hot three-point shooting in an 82-68 loss to the Trojans on Sunday in the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament.
The Ducks (21-7) trailed by 15 at halftime and as many as 21 in the second half before rallying back within nine. But ultimately the deficit was too much to overcome, despite 28 points and 10 rebounds from Omoruyi and 21 points from Duarte.
"Our ball movement against the zone that first half was not good," UO coach Dana Altman said.
