Two days ago, Oregon’s season appeared to be over when the Ducks were thumped by the Sun Devils of Arizona State 90-73 in Eugene.
But you can never count out a Dana Altman-coached team. He always tends to get it all figured out by March.
Need proof? Look no further than Saturday night’s stunning upset victory.
The Ducks reversed their tide and dominated No. 9 Arizona 87-68 at Matthew Knight Arena tonight. A stunning outcome.
“Ducks Win! #9 Arizona goes down in Eugene, 87-68,” Oregon Men’s Basketball wrote.

Dana Altman has some hair left. N’Faly Dante was fantastic (22 points and 10 rebounds).

“On Thursday, Oregon lost at home to Arizona State by 17. Today, it beat Arizona at home by 19. Anarchy? Nope. Just College Basketball,” said Jon Rothstein.
