The Ducks men’s basketball team found more success Monday night in a route of Jacksonville State when they improved to 4-0. Tony Woods was a key contributor as he went for a career high 17 points to go with his five blocked shots. Kazemi had eight rebounds to lead the Ducks.
After a monster 38-27 effort in a loss to Portland State, Jillian Alleyne was selected as Pac-12 Freshman of the week. After the predicted top scorer, Lexi Peterson, suffered a season-ending knee injury, the Ducks were in need of some help. Alleyne certainly gave them that as she broke school records in both points and rebounds to go along with her four steals and three blocks.
