The Ducks limited BYU's dynamic guards, Tyler Haws and Matt Carlino. The pair combined to shoot just 11-of-34 for a combined 34 points on the day. Forward Eric Mika got it done at the line for the Cougars, shooting 11-of-16 on his way to 15 points.
Oregon will play Wisconsin on Saturday in the NCAA Tournament's Round of 32. With Arizona and Creighton lurking in the West bracket, the Ducks have their work cut out for them to reach their first Final Four since 1939.
