Oregon Men Pick up Season’s First Big Ten Win without Standout Guard Jackson Shelstad
Oregon overcame the loss of starting point guard Jackson Shelstad to win 64-54, holding Maryland to their lowest points allowed this season, with Bittle and Simpkins scoring 16 each.
- At XFINITY Center on Jan. 2, 2026, the Oregon Ducks men's basketball team defeated Maryland 64-54 for their first Big Ten Conference win, with Nate Bittle scoring 16 points, seven rebounds and five blocks.
- Point guard Jackson Shelstad missed the game with a right-hand injury, so Wei Lin started and Oregon shifted offense toward Nate Bittle and Kwame Evans Jr., Coach Dana Altman said.
- Oregon shot 48.9% from the field, hit five 3-pointers and outscored Maryland 32-12 in the paint, while Takai Simpkins scored 16 points on 5 of 10 shooting with seven rebounds.
- Oregon Ducks stay on the East Coast for a 4 p.m. Monday game at Rutgers in Piscataway, N.J., while Maryland Terrapins host Indiana on Wednesday.
- The win highlighted Oregon's defensive depth with a season-low allowed, and Kwame Evans Jr., Oregon forward, returned from an ankle absence to add 12 points and eight rebounds Friday.
