As Oregon pulled away from UW in the second half, Bill Walton perfectly summed up the game by saying that winning teams, “define the terms of the conflict- make them play your game.” After a tight first half, the Ducks exploited UW’s offensive shortcomings. The Dawgs couldn’t buy a jump shot, and Oregon’s length on the interior made it difficult to make shots at the rim. The outcome was 22% shooting for the Dawgs in the second half. Just like they did a week before, Oregon held UW under 50 points and squelched any momentum going into the NCAA tournament with a 68-48 win in Las Vegas.
