Game in Destin, Fla., which is an awesome place if you can ever get there. It's very unlike most of Florida in that summer is high season whereas not most of the state -- winter is. Destin is basically Alabama/Georgia but with crystal clear Gulf of Mexico water. Oregon is without its two stud big men in N'Faly Dante and Nate Bittle among a few others due to injury.

Herb Sendek, who always looks for pre-cooked options from the transfer portal at SCU, has added again with a familiar veteran look featuring ex-Arizona wing Adama Bal ex-American 6-10 Johnny O’Neil, ex-Virginia 7-footer Francisco Caffaro, and ex UAB & Mt St Mary’s PG Jalen Benjamin. The new Bronco mix includes all plus a holdover mix led by 6-5 wing Carlos Marshall, Jr, brought in last year from Tennessee State. Sendek’s collection of bigs have been unnerving the opposition and present a rare matchup problem for Dana Altman’s Oregon, which might not be at with potential NBA lottery pick N’Faly Dante having missed the past two weeks with a hamstring, and 7-footer Nate Bittle iffy with a sprained wrist.
