It’s no rest for the wary as Oregon will travel to Carleton University in Ottawa to take on the Ravens Tuesday night to make it three games in three days. The Gee-Gees would be able to hold their own in a small American conference and on their home floor, they definitely gave the Ducks a scare. Oregon was able to run back its first opponent, McGill, in the first game in Canada, but Ottawa was a different story. Their 2022-23 roster features three Canadians, with Ethan Butler of Toronto in addition to Montrealers Keeshawn Barthelemy and Quincy Guerrier. It should be a nervy end to the college basketball regular season for. Although the Gee-Gees never led, they were always within shouting distance of the Ducks.ĭana Altman mostly likely isn’t happy with the final outcome, but he may be secretly relieved the Ducks were able to play in a close game and come out on top. In recent years, Oregon has been recruiting basketball players from Canada, including Dillon Brooks, Chris Boucher and Chris Duarte, whom each suited up for the Ducks before making it to the NBA. Oregon basketball’s NCAA tournament hopes are in serious trouble as the Ducks sit on the edge of the March Madness bubble. In all four quarters, the Ducks would go on a run to extend their lead to double figures, but towards the end of each quarter, Ottawa was able to cut into the lead. Ottawa’s Guillaume Pépin led all scorers with 20 points. South Carolina transfer Jermaine Couisnard just missed a double-double with nine points and nine rebounds. Quincy Guerrier led the way with 18 points with Keeshawn Barthalemy scoring 11 and Kel-El Ware adding 10. The one-year extension of Altman is for 4 million in 2027-28. In the second game of Oregon”s Canadian tour, the University of Ottawa battled the Ducks for the entire 40 minutes and had a last-second 55-footer go wide and Oregon came away with a 78-76 win over the Gee-Gees. EUGENE Oregon is extending the contract of men’s basketball coach Dana Altman for an additional year through the 2027-28 season.
