Broncos Visit MKA on Saturday
11/08/19 | Men's Basketball
Oregon and Boise State square off for the sixth time in the last five seasons Saturday night at 8 p.m. (Pac-12 Network).
THE STARTING FIVE
• 1 – Dana Altman became the winningest coach in school history with the Ducks' season-opening victory over Fresno State. That was his 236th win at Oregon, one more than Ernie Kent won as the Ducks' head coach. Altman is now the winningest coach at two Division I institutions - Oregon and Creighton (327 wins in 16 seasons).
• 2 – Payton Pritchard needs just six more assists to reach 500 in his career. That would tie Luke Ridnour for third on the UO career list. When he reaches the 500-assist plateau, he'll join UO Hall of Famer Ron Lee as the only two players in program history with 1,000 career points, 500 career assists and 400 career rebounds.
• 3 – Francis Okoro recorded his first career double-double Tuesday against Fresno State with 10 points and 10 rebounds.
• 4 – National junior college player of the year Chris Duarte opened up with 16 points, seven rebounds and three steals in his Oregon debut Tuesday against Fresno State.
• 5 – Dana Altman is one of six active head coaches in NCAA Division I who have posted a winning record for the last 22 consecutive seasons. The other five, Mike Krzyzewski, Tom Izzo, Roy Williams, Bill Self and Jim Boeheim, are in the Hall of Fame.
• BENCH – Dating back to last season, Oregon has held 11 of its last 12 opponents under 70 points. During the Dana Altman era, Oregon is 164-20 when holding opponents under 70 points.
ALTMAN ALONE ATOP OREGON'S WINS LIST
Dana Altman became the school's all-time winningest coach when Oregon defeated Fresno State on Tuesday. He passed Ernie Kent, who won 235 games in 13 seasons (1998-2010) with the Ducks. Altman is now the winningest coach at two Division I institutions - Oregon and Creighton (327 wins in 16 seasons).
WOODEN UP NEXT FOR ALTMAN
Dana Altman is currently 29th in all-time NCAA Division I coaching wins with 646. No. 28 on that list is John Wooden, who had 664 career wins for Indiana State and UCLA.
DUCKS SIGN ALTMAN THROUGH 2025-26
In March of 2019, University of Oregon Director of Athletics Rob Mullens announced a contract extension with head coach Dana Altman that will keep him in Eugene through the 2025-26 season.
PRITCHARD WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE OF UO CAREER RECORDS
Senior Payton Pritchard has a chance to break a number of school career records, including steals, assists, wins and games played. He currently has 166 steals and 494 assists. Kenya Wilkins (1993-97) currently holds the records in both categories (213 steals, 614 assists) and both are well within Pritchard's reach. Pritchard is just the ninth member of Oregon's 80-win club (players who have played in at least 80 victories as a Duck) and currently sits at 82 (tied for fifth). The career leader in wins is Johnathan Loyd, who won 97 games as a Duck between 2010-14. Prichard has also played 114 games in three seasons at Oregon. Loyd is the Ducks' all-time leader in games played with 144.
PRITCHARD EYES RIDNOUR, 500 CAREER ASSISTS
With six more assists, Payton Pritchard will both reach the 500-assists plateau at Oregon and tie UO Hall of Famer Luke Ridnour (500/2000-03) for third on the UO career charts.
PRITCHARD CLIMBS SCORING LIST
Payton Pritchard is the 37th 1,000-point scorer in program history. Tuesday against Fresno State, he passed Jim Barnett (1,325/1963-66) for 18th place. Pritchard currently shows 1,327 points. Next up is Joseph Young (1,388/2013-15).
PRITCHARD LEADS NCAA IN CONSECUTIVE STARTS

With 25 steals in the last 11 games of the year, junior guard Payton Pritchard leapt from ninth to second on UO's career steals list. He now shows 166 career steals and trails only school record holder Kenya Wilkins (213/1993-97).
NBA DRAFT NOTES

NBA ROSTER NOTES
Oregon has five alums playing in the NBA in 2019-20. Chris Boucher won a World Championship with Toronto last season and is in his second year with the Raptors (third overall). Another former World Champion, Jordan Bell, is in his first season (third overall) with Minnesota after spending the previous two years with the Golden State Warriors. Dillon Brooks is in his third season with Memphis, while this is year two in Washington for Troy Brown Jr. The Ducks also have a couple of players on two-way contracts in Bol Bol (Denver) and Louis King (Detroit). in the NBA G League, McKyle McIntosh and Paul White are with Raptors 905, Kenny Wooten is with the Westchester Knicks and Elijah Brown is with the Grand Rapids Drive.
