Loyd has played in all 18 games, starting the last six games. He has 39 assists (to just 22 turnovers), leading the team in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.8). Loyd's 18 steals (1.0 spg) ranks tied for second on the team. He's also shooting 76 percent on free throws.

Following this week's road game against OSU, the Ducks will travel to Northern California for games against Stanford on Thursday, Jan. 27 and California on Saturday, Jan. 29. UO returns home to Matthew Knight Arena for games Feb. 3-5 against Washington State and Washington.
OREGON'S PAC-10 STATISTICAL RANKINGS
UO compares favorably with their Pac-10 foes in several statistical categories, ranking second in free throw shooting (.729, 248-of-340), steals (8.6 spg, 154), offensive rebounds (12.6, 226) and turnover margin (+3.9, 227-297) while ranking fifth in blocks (3.3, 59).
Senior forward Joevan Catron is fifth in scoring (15.9 ppg, 254) and third in offensive rebounds (3.1 orpg, 47). Sophomore forward E.J. Singler is second in free throw percentage (.836, 56-of-67) and tied for ninth in blocks (1.0 bpg, 18). Junior guard Teondre Williams is second in 3-point field goal percentage (.457, 16-of-35). Junior guard Malcolm Armstead is third in steals (2.0 spg, 34) and eighth in assists (3.5 apg, 60).
CATRON AVERAGING CAREER BESTS
Senior forward Joevan Catron (bio on page 27) has now played in 112 career games averaging career-bests for points (15.9 ppg) and field goal shooting percentage (.515, 84-163). He leads the team in scoring, rebounding (6.4 rpg) shooting percentage, field goals attempted and field goals made, while ranking third in minutes played (25.8 mpg).
Catron has scored in double-figures in 13 of the 16 games which he's played in. Five of his six career 20-point games have occurred this season. He's led UO in scoring 13 times in his career, 10 of those have come in 2010-11.
Catron has scored 62.2 percent of his points after halftime, with 158 of his 254 total points coming during the final 20 minutes (and OT). In UO's game at Washington, Catron scored 17 of his team-high 20 points in the second half (including 11 straight points to open the stanza). In an overtime win over North Dakota State, he tallied 16 of his career-best 27 points in the second half. He also scored 18 of his 25 points in the second half of a home loss to San Jose State.
SINGLER STEPS INTO KEY ROLE
Sophomore forward E.J.

On Dec. 11, Singler posted an 18-point, 17-rebound (career high) effort in the win over Willamette. That single-game rebound total ties Singler for the top performance amongst Pac-10 players this season (with Arizona State's Kyle Cain, 17 vs. Houston Baptist, 11-25-10).
LAST WEEK'S HOME GAMES AGAINST USC, UCLA
UO opened up the Matthew Knight Arena era on a strong note with a 68-62 victory over USC last Thursday night, before losing a close game to UCLA on Saturday by a score of 67-59.
