The first half of the PAC-12 Conference schedule left the conference with a log-jam at the 3rd spot in the PAC with 3 teams sitting at 6 - 3 in conference play.

While the Oregon Men's team found themselves one game behind at 5 - 4.

Now we all know the Ducks haven't played their best basketball and their room for error in the second half of the season is even smaller.

Oregon looking to change that tonight, playing host to Colorado.

1st half, Brennan Rigsby attacking, showing off the handles, dishes it off to Keeshawn Barthelemy and the former Buffaloe knocks down the three to put the Ducks up 6 over his former school.

Moving to the second half no N'Faly Dante, who got injured in warm-ups. But this guy showed out, Nate Bittle with the powerful slam dunk there. The Crater grad from Central Point was hit with a tech, but Oregon leads by 10.

Later in the half, Colorado cuts the lead to 1. Will Richardson kicking it out to Quincy Guerrier, he pumps, pulls up from three, and he drains the triple.

Oregon holds on for the win, 75 - 69.

"There's no doubt that without his performance tonight you know we, we don't get it done. He was really good, and you know Keeshawn stepped up and hit some shots. Quincy stepped up and hit some shots, but Nate. you know Nate was the determining factor," said head coach Dana Altman.

Altman says the training staff will evaluate Dante, but he doesn't expect him to miss an extended amoount of time.

The Ducks will host Utah Saturday at 5 p.m.
