About an hour before the Oregon Ducks met UNLV at the Moda Center, Chris Boucher was seen on the court with a boot on his left foot. He was also on crutches. Media reports flooded the internet with a picture of Boucher, but the calm came later once it was revealed that the boot was simply a precaution. Chris Boucher sprained his ankle in practice earlier this week according to the Oregonian.
While Boucher was out of the lineup against UNLV, Dillon Brooks returned to the Starting Lineup to pick up a team-high 20 points in a win over UNLV.
