Seattle is not typically a kind place to the Ducks, but Oregon got the win in Hec Ed tonight finishing off the Huskies 65-52. It’s the first time Oregon has swept Washington in 18 years.

Entering the game, the Ducks knew they’d have to execute defensively to slow down UW, and execute they did. Oregon held the Huskies to just 37 percent shooting in the first half and an even worse 32 percent in the second half. Oregon also took relatively good care of the ball, committing just nine turnovers all night.

The Ducks led almost wire-to-wire, with Washington leading briefly by one point.

But as bad as UW was offensively, Oregon was unable to pull too far ahead in the first half and went into the intermission leading by just six points after an E.J. Singler three-pointer at the buzzer was ruled no good.

The senior from Medford, Ore., had 11 points, one of three players finishing with 11 in a characteristically balanced scoring effort from the Ducks. Singler produced a highlight reel moment for fundamentals lovers midway through the first half. Singler got a rebound and dribbled beyond the arc before sinking a three. It was the only three Singler would make on six attempts, but Oregon did knock down four threes as a team on 13 attempts.

Oregon got a scare late when junior point guard Johnathan Loyd tweaked what looked to be an ankle or a knee. It is unknown if Loyd will miss any time, but it was certainly a scary sight to Duck fans.

Loyd did have his best offensive night since joining the starting unit, scoring all 11 of his points in the second half.

Oregon was out-rebounded 36-30 with the Ducks rebounding machine, Kazemi, held to just seven boards — only one of which was offensive.
