"If you are a competitor, you want an opportunity to come back and show what you're capable of doing," said Altman. ![]() By the end of the half, the Ducks were down 21 and a chance at a comeback win was nearly out of the question. Oregon didn't make their first field goal until the 11:57 mark of the first half and didn't have more than 10 points until 6:04 to play in the half. USC hit three three-pointers in the first 90 seconds of the game, led 15-0 in the first six minutes, and the Ducks trailed 17-1 eight minutes into the game. ![]() "I feel like they punched us in the mouth right off the bat," said Oregon senior forward Eugene Omoruyi. It was one of USC's best performances of the year, and also one of the worst by the Ducks. The Trojans shot 47.6 percent on three-pointers, dominated the battle on the boards, and assisted on 17 of their 27 made field goals. USC won the only regular-season contest between the two Pac-12 schools 72-58. "I think anybody as a competitor, when you're not successful, you want another opportunity," said Oregon head coach Dana Altman. Now the Ducks will get a second chance at facing off against USC, and this time it'll be for the right to play in the Elite Eight in this year's NCAA Tournament. A month ago the Oregon Ducks got hit by a wave of points in the opening minutes of a game at USC that ultimately ended in the Ducks getting blown out by the Trojans. ![]()
