Oregon Ducks Look For 30th Straight Win vs Savannah State
The Oregon Ducks look to push their home winning streak to 30 games against Savannah State on Saturday.
Dillon Brooks is still working out the kinks from off-season foot surgery. He has shown signs of his old self, leading the team to a win against Tennessee and leading the team in scoring earlier this week vs Western Oregon.
Tyler Dorsey also had a slow start to the season, but put in 17 points against the Wolves on Wednesday. Oregon and Savannah State played last season and shot over 60 percent in the first half. Both teams have some issues to work out entering Conference play.
The Oregon Ducks have had inopportune dry scoring streaks. The Tigers allowed their last opponent Georgia Southern to go on a 23-8 run and win the game earlier this week.
