It was good to see N’faly Dante earn the start, though the big man was limited to 16 minutes. Jacob Young also cracked the starting five due to a lower leg injury to Eric Williams Jr and provided a much need spark, though it was bench players Franck Kepnang and Rivaldo Soares who impressed the most in the Oregon loss with 17 and 11 points, respectively.
After scoring just 29 points in total against the Washington State Cougars in their previous game, Arizona State managed to put 30 points up in the first half against the Duck defense.
