No. 1 Oregon pulled off their most impressive win of the tournament, defeating defending champion Duke 82-68 entering as 3-point chalk. The Ducks managed to hit 43.5% of all three-pointers from downtown while holding Duke to just 31.5%.

The Ducks once again will be tested. Oregon is going up against a basketball team that makes a living off the three-ball and simply likes to outscore opponents. The Oklahoma Sooners score 80.5 points per game and foster a second-ranked 42.6% three-point field goal percentage from behind the arc. This is a scary notion for Oregon still remains among the worst in defending the three-ball in America, as opponents are still hitting 35.6% of their shots. Oklahoma also enters on an impressive note, defeating Texas A&M 77-63 in their Sweet 16 collision.
