No. 4 Michigan rallied from a halftime deficit to defeat injury-plagued Oregon 81-71 on Saturday at Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene. The win completes a successful Pacific Northwest road swing for the Wolverines, who improved to 16-1 overall and 6-1 in Big Ten play. Oregon, missing key players Jackson Shelstad and Nate Bittle, put up a fight but couldn't keep pace in the second half.
Oregon redshirt sophomore quarterback Dante Moore announced on Wednesday that he will return to the Ducks for the 2026 season, forgoing an early entry into the 2026 NFL Draft where he was projected as a top prospect. This decision keeps the team's key offensive player in place as they aim for another College Football Playoff run. Moore cited his desire to continue learning and contribute to the team's exciting future.
