EUGENE – In yet another demonstration of its much deeper and more balanced roster, Oregon blew out Montana.

Nate Bittle had 17 points and nine rebounds to lead three players in double figures for the Ducks in a 79-48 victory over the Grizzlies in front of 6,577 at Matthew Knight Arena on Friday night.

TJ Bamba scored 14 points and Jadrian Tracey added 12 for Oregon (2-0), which used runs of 15-0 and 11-0 to open a 44-20 halftime lead and never looked back. It was Oregon’s first 30-point win since March 2, 2023 against Cal (84-51).
