Purdue won the Big Ten by three games last season, despite three road losses. Yet it also went to Champaign and beat its closest competitor — the Illini — in the penultimate game of the regular season.

In its biggest remaining home game of the season, in front of just its second sellout crowd since 2018-19, Oregon had its worst shooting performance of the season. Nate Bittle scored 18 points and had a career-high six blocks and Jackson Shelstad added 15 points for the No.

Oregon beat itself up for much of this game, and bad shot selection, silly turnovers, and a lack of rebounding were its downfalls. One solace the Ducks can take away is that most of their mistakes are fixable mistakes, but there’s a lot of fixing before the Ducks host Washington Tuesday night.
