LAST TIME OUT: NO. 1 DUKE 98, OREGON 71
Four Oregon players scored in double figures in the Nov. 27 neutral-site loss to top-ranked Duke at the Rose Garden Arena in Portland, Ore. Senior forward Joevan Catron led the Ducks with 18 points, eight rebounds, four assists, four steals and a block. Catron was joined in double-figures by sophomore forward E.J. Singler (14 points), junior forward Jeremy Jacob (12 points), and freshman guard Johnathan Loyd (10 points).
Oregon won the turnover battle, committing just 11 in the game while forcing the Blue Devils into 19. The Ducks tallied a season-high 15 steals, with Catron (4), Loyd (3) and junior guard Malcolm Armstead (3) all posting season-bests in that category. UO also had seven blocks, with junior forward Tyrone Nared recording three of those.
CATRON CONTINUES STRONG START
Senior forward Joevan Catron has now played in over 100 career games for UO, and the veteran is off to a great start averaging career-bests for points per game (18.8 ppg) and field goal shooting percentage (.569, 37-of-65). Catron, who was awarded a medical hardship in the offseason after missing all but four games a year ago, has scored in double-figures in five of the six games in 2010-11. Of his four career 20-point games, three have come this season. Catron has led UO in scoring eight times in his career, while recording a team-best in points five of the six games this year.
Catron has scored 65 percent of his points after halftime, with 73 of his 113 total points coming during the final 20 minutes (and OT). In an overtime win over North Dakota State, he tallied 16 of his career-best 27 points in the second half, making all five of his field goal attempts in the second stanza.
