Oregon’s 74-65 upset loss at Colorado last Saturday bumped the Ducks down to second place at 8-1 and snapped a school-record 17-game winning streak.
But junior center Jordan Bell says it might be just as well in the long run. A long run that includes a Saturday date with Arizona and, maybe, a lengthy NCAA Tournament appearance.
“Honestly, I think we needed to lose a game,” Bell said, according to the Oregonian. “I think we’ve been kind of sloppy and getting away with it. In Utah, we started sloppy and got away with it.”
