Oregon was playing very unorganized against the Trojans. It looked like a pick-up game out there with a lot of isolation plays. Give props to USC for shutting the Oregon offense down. It seemed like the Ducks couldn’t penetrate the basket, make any three-pointers, pretty much couldn’t do anything. Just not a good effort from U of O in Los Angeles tonight.

Tonight’s Observations:

Kenny Wooten plays his first game without the mask since December 21st (@ Baylor). In my opinion, he looked a lot more intimidating and cooler with the black mask on.

Bennie Boatwright has been on fire from deep range lately. He made 6 three-pointers tonight and had 10 three-pointers (tied for PAC-12 record) against California in the last game. One of the best shooters in the league.

Louis King continues to be the best scoring freshmen in the PAC-12. Will he be leaving Oregon early and put his name in the NBA Draft along with Bol Bol?

King has scored double figures for the 12th time in 13 PAC-12 games this season.

Payton Pritchard finished with 0 assists. No way you win a game when your point guard does that.

Oregon only made 18 field goals out of 54 attempts and 4 three-pointers out of 21 attempts.

USC was sharing the rock and finished with 20 assists. Oregon only had 10 assists total.

Oregon (15-11, 6-7) falls to 9th place in the PAC-12 standings after UCLA upset Oregon State. USC (15-12, 8-6) jumps up to a 4th place tie with Utah.

Next Game - Oregon @ UCLA (10:00 PM ET, ESPN2) on Saturday, February 23rd
