5 keys to victory for Gonzaga vs. Oregon in Northwest Elite Showdown

Posted on Saturday, December 20 @ 00:00:55 PST (11 reads)

5 keys to victory for gonzaga vs. Oregon in northwest elite showdown in this story: mark few and the gonzaga bulldogs close out the non-conference portion of the 2025-26 season on sunday afternoon in portland against the oregon ducks. The game is set to tip at 3:00 pm pt and will be broadcast on nbcs streaming platform peacock. gonzaga (11-1) and oregon (6-5) almost never square off, with sundays tilt representing just the third matchup between these two teams since few took over in 1999. The other two games both came in thanksgiving tournaments, with gonzaga losing to oregon in the maui invitational in 1999 and returning the favor with a win in the battle 4 atlantis 20 years later in 2019. oregon has had tremendous success under dana altman, but injuries and a poor start offensively have the ducks sitting at just 6-5 on the year, with an ugly five-game losing streak in the middle of the non-conference slate. Uo lost all three of their matchups in the players era festival - to auburn, san diego state, and creighton - and followed that up by dropping their first big ten games, at home to usc and on the road at ucla. still, gonzaga knows this team is dangerous due to their athleticism and the shotmaking ability of junior guard jackson shelstad, whom coach few believes has a future in the nba. here are five things the zags need to do to ensure they leave portland with a win on sunday evening: 1. Force turnovers and capitalize in transition only two power conference teams in the country - missouri and maryland - turn the ball over at a higher rate than oregons 18.8%. meanwhile, gonzaga has generated turnovers a whopping 21% of the time this season, using relentless ball pressure from point guards mario saint-supery and braeden smith, as well as jumbo wings jalen warley, tyon grant-foster, and emmanuel innocenti, to knock the ball loose and score easy points in transition. considering oregon has one of the very few frontcourts in cbb that could make life difficult for graham ike and braden huff, the more points this gonzaga team can get in transition, the better. 2. Stay hot from three oregon boasts 70 rim protector nate bittle and a pair of strong, athletic power forwards in kj evans and sean stewart, which will be a bigger challenge than ike and huff typically see on the block. in addition to scoring in transition, gonzaga can put added pressure on oregon by hitting their outside shots - something they have done extremely well the past few weeks. since the abhorrent 3-22 shooting performance against michigan, the zags have shot 47.6% (30-63) from three, raising their season average to a stellar 36.2%. Oregon has done a decent job against the three overall, but san diego state, ucla, and rice all shot over 40% against the ducks - so its not out of the question that the zags can keep up the hot shooting. the status of senior guard adam miller - who left wednesdays game against campbell with ankle soreness - remains up in the air, which could hurt gus chances of impacting this game from deep. however, steele venters, saint-supery, and innocenti have all knocked down outside shots consistently this year, and it might even be in the game plan to have ike and huff space the floor to pull bittle away from the rim and open up the driving lanes as well. 3. Limit second chance opportunities there arent many teams in college hoops better at snagging offensive rebounds than gonzaga, but oregon is one of them. The ducks boast a 38.8% offensive rebound rate, good for 23rd in the country. Led by bittle, evans, stewart, and backup big ege demir - who all average 2+ offensive boards per game - this team is tough to keep off the glass. gonzaga is, of course, one of the best rebounding teams in the country, but theyll need huge efforts from ike, huff, warley, grant-foster, and innocenti to keep this team from getting too many second chances, which could grind this game to a halt and cause major issues for the zags. 4. Bigs must avoid foul trouble bittle and evans are not just great rebounders and gifted scorers; they both excel at drawing contact and converting at the free throw line. Both are attempting 5.5 free throws per game, with bittle converting at 79.6% while evans is slightly better at an even 80%. if you want a nightmare scenario in this game, its ike and/or huff getting in early foul trouble, bittle and evans racking up points at the line, and gonzagas offense getting stymied by no interior post presence while the ducks gobble up offensive rebounds, grind out long possessions, and keep gonzaga from playing at their pace. fortunately, gonzagas bigs have done a good job of avoiding early foul issues, but it is arguably more imperative than ever that it doesnt happen on sunday. 5. Win the point guard battle saint-supery has already dealt with a litany of elite point guards this season: labaron philon and aden holloway at alabama, nijel pack at oklahoma, moe odum at arizona state, elliot cadeau at michigan, and donovan dent at ucla. shelstad is squarely in that elite tier, as a bigger point guard who can facilitate and score with the best of them. Saint-supery will have his hands full on sunday, even with help from smith, innocenti, and warley defensively. if saint-supery can break down oregons defense, get ike and huff the ball in positions to score, and make an impact with his active hands defensively, it will go a long, long way toward gonzaga coming out of non-conference play with a sparkly 12-1 record before embarking on one last ride in the wcc. more gonzaga news & analysis andy patton andy patton is a diehard fan and alumnus of gonzaga, graduating in 2013.

No. 3 Duke, No. 19 Texas Tech have areas to address before hitting NYC - CBS Spo

Posted on Saturday, December 20 @ 00:00:55 PST (14 reads)

2 min read now playing share share video link copied! No. 3 duke has played a number of stout opponents across the first chunk of the schedule. Next up for jon scheyers team is a neutral-site battle with no. 19 texas tech . scheyer doesnt want the blue devils sleeping on the red raiders when they meet saturday night in new york. its going to be as good of a team that we play, scheyer said. duke (11-0) will wrap up its nonconference schedule with its second game since a break for final exams. Texas tech (8-3) has won four of its last five games. theyve got a great roster, great coach, and you know this is going to be one of our toughest games the whole season, duke freshman standout cameron boozer said. Its an ncaa tournament game for us, getting prepared for neutral-site games against really good teams. Im just looking forward to having a great game as a team. texas tech is aiming to defeat a nationally ranked opponent for the first time this season. The red raiders have lost to illinois, purdue and arkansas. how we win these games is you fight, you scrap, you compete, texas tech coach grant mccasland said. the red raiders will be the fifth nationally ranked opponent to meet duke. One of the blue devils victories came against arkansas. scheyer reached the 100-win mark this week when the blue devils defeated visiting lipscomb 97-73. With a 100-22 record, hes the fastest to 100 wins among any acc mens basketball coach in history. there were glitches for the blue devils in the lipscomb game. They trailed by 10 points in the first half and committed a season-high 22 turnovers. its something weve got to look at, be better, said boozer, who provided 26 points and 13 rebounds for his sixth double-double. And (in) new york is a great chance to turn it around and bounce back. scheyer said it was a lesson for the blue devils. this is an example, again, of how we need everybody ready to go, he said. duke sophomore center patrick ngongba ii turned in his first career double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds. texas tech beat visiting northern colorado 101-90 on tuesday, marking its highest-scoring game of the season. Lejuan watts tallied 36 points, marking the first time he has led the red raiders in scoring. star big man jt toppin has reached the 30-point level three times this season for texas tech while averaging 21.9 points per game. Christian anderson has three double-doubles, each involving points and assists. they have two of the best players in the country, scheyer said. but there are frustrations for the red raiders about their defense. Theyve allowed 73.9 points per game. our fight isnt what it needs to be on that end, mccasland said. Its not a scheme issue -- its an effort issue. Well go deeper in the bench. If it costs us offensively, it costs us. texas tech also has concerns about the status of luke bamgboye, who left the northern colorado game with a noncontact injury in the second half. Mccasland said this week he doesnt anticipate bamgboye playing against duke. He has averaged about 16 minutes per game in seven outings. --field level media copyright 2025 stats llc and field level media.

With fridayâ€™s loss, the blue devils are still in search of their first win with a record of 0-13. while the blue devils struggled to get a groove going offensively, they did have a lone double-digit scorer in lucia noin, who contributed 12 points and 6 rebounds. with conference play and a more demanding schedule around the corner, the terps will hope to keep their hot streak going after finishing their non-conference action undefeated.Â key team stats - the terps outrebounded the blue devils 57-37 - central connecticut was held to 2 points scored in the second quarter - maryland recorded a season-high 57 rebounds - maryland recorded their second straight game with under 10 turnovers - maryland recorded a season-high 39 made field goalsÂ up next the terps will host wisconsin on december 29, 2025, in their big ten home opener, while the blue devils will continue their quest for their first win against liu at home on january 2nd. more from maryland on si stay up to date with the terrapins by bookmarking Â maryland on si tem chisanga temwa is a sports communicator and storyteller with experience in college athletics, digital media, and game-day communications.

Three things to know about Rick Pitinos St Johns squad before Saturdays matchup

Posted on Saturday, December 20 @ 00:00:55 PST (9 reads)

Kentucky bounced back in a massive way last saturday in rupp arena with a big 72-60 win over the indiana hoosiers, giving them their first win over a power conference team this season after losing their first four quality matchups, all in embarrassing ways. Saturdays win felt different, as the wildcats welcomed mo dioubate back from injury, as well as jaland lowe knocking the rust from injury off after returning just days earlier against gonzaga. Those two were the clear difference makers, and now, kentucky is mostly healthy once again, but are expected to finally have every scholarship player available, with big man jayden quaintance expected to debut on saturday. up next, kentucky will look to use the big win over indiana as momentum when they head to atlanta to face former kentucky head coach rick pitino, who coached mark pope in his playing days at kentucky, and his #22 st. Johns team as the two will face off in the cbs sports classic on saturday. The red storm entered the season a top 10 team, but have had a little bit of a rough start, losing each of their three games against ranked teams so far. Since losing to #21 auburn right before thanksgiving, pitinos squad has picked up three-straight wins as they enter saturdays game against the wildcats. Theyve had similar struggles to kentucky, losing three of their four games so far against quad 1 teams, and theyre looking to prove something on saturday. heres what kentucky fans need to know about st. Johns ahead of the pope vs. Pitino clash in atlanta, one that was supposed to be a top 15 matchup coming into the season. can kentucky handle the physicality of the st. Johns big men? That will be the biggest question surrounding the individual matchups as we enter saturdays game. Kentucky fans may know one name who is a familir face, former wildcat bryce hopkins. He is the red storms leading scorer at 14.0 points per game, but also offensively, the offense runs through him a lot. Then theres zuby ejiofor, who has cemented himself as one of the top defensive players in the country, especially with his blocking numbers this season. The 6-9 big man is 11th in the country in blocks per game, averaging 2.7 per game. Ejiofor is elite at protecting the rim. Kentucky is known for getting their points at the rim, which is how they scored against indiana. Three-point shooting has been a struggle, but theyre going to have to knock down shots to have a better chance at winning against rick pitinos physical, tough squad, who will try and force them to shoot. Down low, the red storm front court is an absolute force, who they’ll need to keep the ball out of the paint because containing them will be a challenge. The johnnies are 35th in scoring offense and get the bulk of it from the paint, mainly from their two starting bigs, who are their leading scorers. Oh, and theyre also 9th in free throw attempts per game. turnovers is an area of the game that kentucky could really take advantage of. Following a game where they forced indiana, a team that takes care of the ball well, to commit a season-high 18 turnovers in which the wildcats scored 23 points off of, theyll get the opportunity to do that again. It was such a big part in their second-half comeback against the hoosiers, and that needs to be a main focus coming into this saturday. St. Johns is ranked one of the worst teams in taking care of the ball, as theyre 243rd in d1 among steal percentage and 254th in turnovers overall, averaging 13.1 per game. Theyre a very sloppy team, and that could bode well for kentucky if they continue that aggressiveness and intensity that we saw against indiana. on the other hand, the red storm are one of the best at being effective at creating havoc on defense with how aggressive they play. Not only is their frontcourt very physical down low and feature one of the best shot-blockers in college basketball, its a contagious physicality, as their entire team loves to force teams out of the paint and love to wall-up on the perimeter and trap, so if kentucky is going to score, three-point shooting will need to be on-point, but they havent shown any signs of improving that, or get to the rim and create contact to get to the free throw line. Taking care of the ball is massive, because st. Johns is 5th nationally in fastbreak points off of that aggressive defense. overall, if kentucky can knock down some threes, which is a big ask right now, and take advantage of st johns sloppy offense, while taking care of the ball on their own given the johnnies aggressiveness on defense, it will bode very well for mark pope against his former coach. If they can get to the free-throw line being aggressive at the rim, that could play in their favor, too, as the johnnies rank 225th in fouls per game. Its going to be hard to score without drawing fouls given the defensive presence down low. Offense is going to be hard to come by, and thats how pitinos teams like it, so theyre really going to need to impact the game with points off turnovers mostly, and that goes for both sides, really. The turnover battle could decide this one. can the student beat the teacher? We shall see in catlanta on saturday. more must-reads: get the latest news and rumors, customized to your favorite sports and teams. Emailed daily. Always free!

USC Adds Key Transfer As Injuries Shake Up Promising Roster

Posted on Saturday, December 20 @ 00:00:55 PST (11 reads)

Injuries have been the headline story for usc menâ€™s basketball this season, and not in a good way. The trojans have been navigating choppy waters with key players sidelined, including five-star freshman alijah arenas, who has yet to make his debut. And now, theyve taken another hit-maryland transfer rodney rice is officially out for the year with a shoulder injury. thatâ€™s a tough blow for a team already stretched thin. But head coach eric musselman isnâ€™t one to sit back and let the season slip away. after sundayâ€™s win over washington state, he hinted that usc might look to add reinforcements midseason. And now, that move is official: the trojans have brought in veteran guard kam woods, a transfer from robert morris who will be eligible to play right away. woods brings experience-and plenty of it. Usc will be his sixth stop in six seasons of college basketball. that kind of journey isnâ€™t typical, but it also speaks to his resilience and adaptability. Most recently, he helped lead robert morris to the ncaa tournament, showcasing his ability to contribute in high-stakes moments. after entering the transfer portal post-tournament, woods didnâ€™t land with another program-until now. With the trojans in need of depth and backcourt help, the timing lined up. thereâ€™s also a connection already in place. Woods played alongside amarion dickerson at robert morris last season. dickerson made the move to usc in the offseason and has seen action in eight games so far this year. That familiarity could help woods get up to speed quickly in a new system, especially with conference play looming. the immediate task for usc is wrapping up their nonconference schedule. Theyâ€™ll take on uc santa cruz on sunday afternoon, a final tune-up before diving back into big ten action in early january. and it wonâ€™t be an easy re-entry. Road games against michigan, michigan state, and minnesota await-a stretch that will test this teamâ€™s depth, chemistry, and resilience. with woods now in the fold, usc is hoping he can provide a spark-both as a steady hand and a scorer who knows what it takes to win. In a season where injuries have forced constant adjustments, the trojans are betting that experience and timing might be just enough to steady the ship.

South Carolina WR Brian Rowe Jr. Makes Bold Move After 11 Games

Posted on Saturday, December 20 @ 00:00:55 PST (10 reads)

South carolina wide receiver brian rowe jr. Is heading to the ncaa transfer portal after wrapping up his freshman season in columbia.
