After a 66-56 home loss to the juggernaut Houston Cougars, Oregon participated in the Phil Knight Invitational, losing to UConn and Michigan State before salvaging a win over Villanova, 74-67. The Ducks played without off-and-on starting center Nate Bittle, second-leading scorer N'Faly Dante, and starting guard Keeshawn Barthelemy, but still triumphed over a suddenly reeling "Nova" squad. Oregon finished the game on a 10-0 run, with star guard Will Richardson scoring five of his 19 points in the final two minutes of regulation. Quincy Guerrier, who scored a combined 13 points in the two games leading up to Villanova's win, dropped a season-high 21 points and eight rebounds on 6-of-10 from deep. With fellow big men Bittle and Dante on the mend, coach Dana Altman deployed five-star freshman Kel'el Ware for 37 minutes. He finished with 13 points and seven rebounds on 55% from the field.
