Bennie Boatwright Moves to 3rd on USC's All-Time 3-Point List as Trojans Down Oregon, 66-49
February 21, 2019 | Men's Basketball, Features
The Trojans (15-12, 8-6 Pac-12) held the Ducks (15-11, 6-7) to 33.3 percent shooting from the floor.
The victory reversed an 81-60 USC loss at Oregon last month.
Freshman Louis King led Oregon with 16 points and Victor Bailey Jr. had 10 points off the bench.
The Ducks never could track USC's zone defense, going long stretches where they struggled to find the basket. Oregon went 1 for 12 in one stretch in the second half when the Trojans pushed their lead to 16 points (60-44).
Oregon went without a point during a 5:08 stretch to end the first half and start the second.
USC shot 62.5 from the field in the second half and outrebounded the Ducks 15-8.
Boatwright, who hit 10 3-pointers in USC's last game, went 6 of 9 from the 3-point line against Oregon.
Congratulations to @benniebuckets__ on moving into 3rd place on USC's all-time 3-pointers made list!
