Oregon vs Utah Preview

Oregon vs Utah Preview

The Oregon Ducks take on the Utah Utes tonight for the second time in one week.  The two teams split the regular season games with Utah winning the last battle 76-72.

Oregon must be very careful to not underestimate Utah.  Despite sitting in the bottom half of the conference, Utah is on fire, having won their last four games.  The Utes beat USC in the first round and stunned Cal in the second round to advance to the semi-finals against Oregon.  Can Oregon stop their current win streak?

Last night the Ducks got great production from their starting line up and will need that again if they want to win tonight.  Oregon will need to keep Jason Washburn and Jarred DuBois under wraps as they were the catalysts to Oregon’s loss against Utah.  Arsalan Kazemi continues to be the anchor for the Ducks and sets the tone for the team.  Some extra scoring from the guard position couldn’t hurt also.

To watch the game, tune in to ESPN/WatchESPN at 8:30pm PT.
