Oregon Triumphs Over Montana in Basketball Clash

Nate Bittle's Stellar Performance Leads Ducks to Victory

Nate Bittle led Oregon to a 75-61 victory over Montana, scoring 17 points with eight rebounds and four blocks.
Oregon's victory was achieved despite the absence of All-Pac-12 center N'aly Dante due to knee soreness and freshman guard Jackson Shelstad, who also suffered a knee injury.
Four other players from Oregon joined Bittle in double-figure scoring, including Brennan Rigsby with 12 and Keeshawn Barhelemy, Kario Oquendo, and Jermaine Couisinard with 11 each.
The game was closely contested until the last eight minutes when Oregon began to pull away, building their lead to 75-59 with 1:30 remaining.
Despite Montana's Aanen Moody scoring 17 points, the Grizzlies could not close the gap, with Oregon committing only two turnovers and compiling 13 assists.
