Clutch Fletcher Loyer 3-Pointer Helps No. 12 Purdue Sneak Past Oregon, 68-64

Available at Purdue Bittle (foot) is available for Saturday's game at Purdue.

Impact After a five-game absence that spanned several weeks, Bittle is back in an attempt to finish his senior season strong. The timing could not be better, as Oregon, already without superstar Jackson Shelstad (hand) long-term, announced that regular rotation members Devon Pryor (groin) and Ege Demir (shoulder) would join Shelstad. Bittle, averaging 16.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.3 blocks this season, is expected to carry Oregon to success on both ends of the court as long as his previously injured foot is 100 percent healthy.

May be available Saturday Bittle (foot) may be available for Saturday's game at Purdue, according to Matt Prehm of 247Sports.com.

Impact Back on Jan. 16, it was announced that Bittle would be out for at least one month to recover from a foot injury. Fast-forward just a little over two weeks later, and he can easily beat the earlier timetable, doing so with Oregon's next game Saturday at Purdue. Bittle being available then would come at a welcome time, considering the Ducks are already without UO superstar Jackson Shelstad (hand) and added to their long-term injury report with regular starter Devon Pryor (groin) and fellow center Ege Demir (shoulder). At the latest, Bittle's status will be updated Saturday via the Big Ten availability report.

Out for approximately one month Bittle (foot) is out for approximately one month, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Bittle's last year of collegiate eligibility will be affected by a foot injury he suffered sometime around the Oregon-Nebraska game that saw UO decimated, both in-game and physically. Oregon's team is already without Jackson Shelstad (hand), so the Ducks will have to rely on less proven options to step up while their superstar center recovers. But with Bittle averaging 16.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.3 blocks this season, replacing his production will be incredibly difficult.

Continues hot streak in OT loss Bittle contributed 28 points (11-21 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Monday's 88-85 OT loss to Rutgers.

Impact Bittle has been on an absolute tear in his last four games, averaging 24.5 points in that span and scoring 28 points twice. And yet, even with his huge scoring output, he's remained active on he glass and has taken his passing to another level, averaging 3.0 assists in his last four contests as well. Bittle has really woken up at the right time for Oregon, even as the Ducks lost a heartbreaker in New Jersey on Monday night.
