Ducks Record First Loss

Ducks Record First Loss

The Oregon Ducks suffered their first loss of the season last night, falling 84–73 to No. 21 Auburn at Michelob ULTRA Arena. Oregon kept pace through the first half, but turnovers proved costly as the Ducks gave the ball away 19 times, leading to 14 Auburn points. Takai Simpkins led Oregon with 22, while Nate Bittle added 10 points and seven rebounds. Auburn pulled away with a late 10–0 run and finished the game shooting more than 57 percent in the second half. The Ducks will be back on the floor this evening at 6:30 on KCST against San Diego State.

The Oregon Duck Women will be on the court today against St. Mary’s while the Oregon State Beaver women will face Vanderbilt.
