SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) —The Oregon Ducks are counting on senior forward Chris Boucher’s contributions from the sidelines against Iona. Boucher tore his ACL in a victory against California in the semifinals of last weekend’s Pac-12 Tournament, quite a blow for the team’s leading shot blocker and dangerous 3-point threat. Boucher was Oregon’s third-leading scorer at 11.8 points, also averaging 6.1 rebounds and 2.55 blocks before getting hurt. The Ducks lost by three points to Arizona in the Pac-12 Tournament final without him.
