WSU (9-18, 2-13 Pac-12) beat rival Washington 72-67 in February. On Friday the Cougars can complete a regular-season sweep of the Huskies (15-13, 7-8 Pac-12) for the first time since 2011.

But GU coach Mark Machtolf isn’t worried despite his team’s early struggles.

Cougars aim to shoot down Ducks

Points haven’t come easy for the Washington State basketball team this season, which is last in the Pac-12 in scoring at 62.6 points per game. Today against Oregon they’ll face a foe that has struggled in conference play except when it comes to putting points on the board. The Ducks (17-8, 5-8 Pac-12) are the conference scoring leaders, averaging 83.5 points per game. Though UO has disappointed since entering conference play ranked No. 10 in the country, they still have something to play for.
