Three takeaways from Oregon's dominant 100-66 win over Mississippi Valley State
247sports.com/college/oregon…
Oregon beats Mississippi Valley State 100-66. Ducks for the third straight game shot 60% or better from the field, tied an MKA record of 16 3-pointers, and had 31 assists on 39 baskets. Jasper Johnson led the Ducks with 17 points and Wei Lin came off the bench for 8 points and 8 assists.
Final media timeout of the game comes at the 3:31 mark. Oregon leads 93-61. Ducks are shooting 60% from the field, have made 15 3-pointers, and assisted 29 times on 36 baskets. It's been a very efficient brand of basketball.
Ducks lead 73-44 with 11:41 left to play in this game. Ducks' assist total is up to 24 on 29 made baskets. They have 14 made 3-pointers. Jasper Johnson is the only Duck in double-figures with 17 points, but six other Ducks have six or more points.
The Ducks are just pouring it on. 63-30 with 15:58 left. 20 assists on 25 made baskets is impressive, no matter the competition. Oregon has also made 13 of their 24 3-pointers. The MKA arena record is 16 made threes.
A halftime promo of two people going down the court bouncing on a big exercise ball and then having to make a 3-pointer on the other end leads to a student cheating by walking with the ball. He drains the three and then taunts the crowd as they boo him. This is awesome.
At the half Oregon leads Miss Valley State 50-28. Jasper Johnson's 14 points are a game-high. Wei Lin and Fred Payne each have five assists. Oregon shot 61% from the field and made 10 of their 19 threes.
Andrew Meadow hits back-to-back 3-pointers and the Ducks are up 45-24 with 2 minutes left. Oregon is shooting 60% from the field and 53% on threes.
Ducks turning it over a bit more than I am sure the staff would like, but when you're up 20 in less than 14 minutes it's bound to get sloppy. Ducks have made four of their last five but the Delta Devils have made back to back baskets. 39-23 Oregon.

We really won't know how good the Ducks are until St. John's but they are already sharing the ball better, shooting it better, and much better with TO's now than last year. Very encouraging. Wei Lin doesn't look like the same player at all, and the Ducks are really deep...
Lin now makes a three and the Duck lead grows to 28-11. Ducks have nine assists on 12 baskets. Ducks are up to 60% shooting.
Lin quickly has accumulated five assists in less than six minutes of play. His career-high is five against Ohio State last year.
Aristode splashes a transition three and it's now 21-6 Ducks. Ducks are shooting 56% from the field and holding MVST to 18% shooting. Ducks have 12 points in the paint.
Back to back dunks by the Ducks via assists by Wei Lin. Oregon up to 18-6 less than eight minutes in.
Ewin is up to five rebounds for the Ducks and the Delta Devils call a timeout trailing Oregon 12-3 with 15:15 left in the first half. Oregon is shooting 50% from the field and MSVST is shooting 20%.
Malique Ewin gets a defensive board, an offensive board on the Duck possession, and it leads to a 3-pointer by Jasper Johnson. Ducks score first.
