College Basketball Power 10: Florida State Best Team In ACC?

10. Oregon Ducks (18-2)

Oregon won their school record 15th and 16th straight game of the season last week with wins over California and Stanford. The Ducks beat California by 23 and Stanford by 17, but they did not come without a scare.

Dillion Brooks left in the first half of Oregon’s 86-63 win over California with a left foot injury and many feared it would cause him to miss the rest of the season. Brooks had surgery on his left foot this past offseason. However, Oregon found out later that it’s only a sprain.

There is no timetable for his return, but the Ducks are just glad that he’ll return at some point this season. He missed the first three games of the season, but Oregon is 15-1 this season when he plays.

Oregon is better suited to be without their leading scorer now though. The Ducks are playing their best basketball of the season, as they lead the Pac-12 in points allowed per game and second in points per game. Plus, they have four players outside of Brooks who also average double-digit points.

The Final Four-caliber Oregon Ducks team everyone envisioned heading into the season is starting to come to form.

Oregon travels to Utah and Colorado this week.
