Johnathan Loyd came up big against Stanford, with a season high in points (15) and a career high 9 assists assists.
This game was special for Loyd as he had been struggling mightily since being forced into the starting lineup because of Dominic Artis’ injury.
Loyd describes this type of game as something he needed. DuckTV Sports’ Andrew Murray reports.
DuckTV Sports’ Sarah Scrivens reports on Oregon’s loss to Colorado 48-47 Thursday night. That loss broke the Ducks 20 game home winning streak, the sixth longest in the nation. With the loss, the Ducks also dropped out of the lead in the Pac-12.
Oregon shot 28.6 percent from the field and Oregon Head Coach Dana Altman said that was the difference in the game.
Oregon falls to 18-5 on the season and will take on 10-12 Utah Saturday at Matthew Knight Arena.

Thursday, January 10, the 12-2 Oregon Ducks Mens basketball team will take on the number four ranked undefeated Arizona Wildcats at Matthew Knight Arena. This game should prove to be one of the biggest in recent memory and even possibly the biggest in the short history of Matthew Knight Arena.
The big matchup going into the game will be between Arizona’s experienced guards in Mark Lyons, who leads the team in points with more then 14 a game, and Nick Johnson versus the rising freshman guards for Oregon in Damyean Dotson and Dominic Artis.
Dotson leads the Ducks in scoring with 11.8 a game while Artis is Ducks floor general on both ends of the court, racking up 3.6 assists a game.
If Oregon is able to pull out a victory against the undefeated Wildcats, the only ranked team in the Pac-12, it could be a game changer for Dana Altman and crew.
