Jasper Johnson went absolutely lights-out for Oregon last night, hitting every single shot he took on his way to 17 points as the Ducks blasted Mississippi Valley State 100-66. That’s right, 100 points. This team is already cooking, and it’s only November.
Johnson’s Perfect Night Sets the Tone
Talk about a statement game! Johnson was perfect from the floor, draining all six of his field goal attempts, including five absolute bombs from beyond the arc. He even kicked off the scoring with a three, setting the tone from the jump for the Ducks, who are now sitting pretty at 3-0 and have yet to trail in a game. This kid was dialed in, and it showed.
Ducks Dominate From Tip-Off to Buzzer
It wasn’t just Johnson, though he was definitely the spark. Oregon was just flat-out dominant from start to finish. They were up 21-6 just nine minutes in and led 50-28 by halftime. At one point, their lead swelled to 35 points, a full-on clinic. The Ducks shot a ridiculous 61% overall and absolutely torched the nets with 16 three-pointers on 33 attempts. Their fastbreak game was on point, outscoring MVSU 26-12 in transition, and they cleaned up the glass too, outrebounding the Delta Devils 42-26.
Taylor Bol Bowen chipped in with 10 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists, showing off that all-around game. Malique Ewin was a beast on the boards with 13 rebounds. Wei Lin even put the cherry on top, hitting a jumper with 44 seconds left to get the Ducks to the century mark, finishing with 8 points and 8 assists himself. MVSU’s Gabriel Martinez had 14 points, Caleb Cameron 12, and Tory James Jr. 10, but they simply couldn’t match Oregon’s firepower. This Ducks squad, loaded with nine transfers and two freshmen, looks like a well-oiled machine already under interim coach Tony Stubblefield, who took over after Dana Altman retired in early October.
Oregon is flying high at 3-0, and they’re bringing that heat home for their next game. They’re set to face Pepperdine on Sunday. Can they keep this undefeated run going? You bet the league is watching what Stubblefield’s squad is cooking up.
