No. 1 -- Civil War loss. The Ducks had 23 TOs and shot just 38 percent at home against the Beavers, falling 76-71 on Jan. 29 in a loss that would haunt them the rest of the season, as Oregon State had the lowest RPI (132) of any team the Ducks lost to during the season. No. 2 -- Two points, two losses. The Ducks just couldn’t catch a break against Colorado this season. Though they beat the Buffaloes 90-81 at home, they also lost 72-71 in Boulder on Feb. 4, and 63-62 in the Pac-12 tournament, a loss that essentially ended their shot at the NCAA tournament. No. 3 -- The freshman departures. Two games was all five-star G Jabari Brown lasted with the Ducks, quitting the program on Nov. 20 before eventually transferring to Missouri. Two games later, four-star G Bruce Barron left as well. Oregon went on to finish 24-10, but with five seniors gone, plus Brown and Barron, the Ducks are rebuilding again.
