Purdue Aims to Extend Oregon's Losing Streak
7 Feb
Summary
- Purdue seeks second consecutive win against Oregon.
- Oregon has lost eight games in a row.
- Boilermakers secured an emphatic win at Maryland.
The No. 12 Purdue Boilermakers are preparing to host the Oregon Ducks for a Big Ten Conference matchup on Saturday. Purdue is looking to build on a recent emphatic 93-63 victory over Maryland, which improved their conference record to 8-3. Key performers in that game included Fletcher Loyer with 29 points and Braden Smith with 19 points.
Oregon enters the game on a significant losing streak, having dropped their last eight contests. Their most recent defeat was an 84-66 loss at home against Iowa. Despite their struggles, players like Kwame Evans Jr. and Takai Simpkins have shown scoring ability for the Ducks.
Historically, Purdue holds a slight edge in the all-time series against Oregon. The Boilermakers' strong offensive performance, particularly from beyond the arc, has been a key factor in their success this season. Oregon will need to find a way to break their losing streak against a highly-ranked opponent.
