The Ducks are No. 15 in this week’s AP men’s college basketball poll and the same spot in the coaches poll after Saturday’s 65-58 loss to the Boilermakers

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.

The Ducks shot just 36% from the field in a 65-58 loss to No. 17 Purdue Saturday afternoon in front of an announced crowd of 12,364 at Matthew Knight Arena.

Oregon men's basketball is back at Matthew Knight Arena on Saturday for a top-25 showdown against Big Ten power Purdue, the NCAA runner-up in 2024.

Oregon could be without one of its backup guards against No. 17 Purdue. Ra’Heim Moss, who is averaging 1.7 points and 1.9 rebounds in 12 minutes per game off the bench, missed Sunday’s game at Penn State due to an unspecified injury suffered against Ohio State.

Defense travels, and No. 15 Purdue basketball’s winning streak reached seven with a 65-58 victory at No. 14 Oregon on Saturday.

Not even a sellout crowd at Matthew Knight Arena could elevate the Oregon men's basketball team to victory Saturday as the Ducks lost to Purdue
