Double-double in narrow victory Bittle recorded 12 points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and four blocks over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 60-59 win over Hawaii.

Impact This was certainly a little too close for comfort for the Ducks, and the fact that star guard Jackson Shelstad wasn't available certainly didn't help. Nonetheless, Bittle did lots of the heavy lifting, pulling down a team-leading 14 rebounds, swatting four shots and hitting all six of his shots from the charity stripe, which turned out to be huge in a one-point game. He'll look to improve his efficiency moving forward, but this was a big-time performance from Oregon's experienced big man when the Ducks needed it most.

Declares for NBA Draft Bittle has declared for the 2025 NBA Draft while maintaining collegiate eligibility, according to James Crepea of The Oregonian.

Impact For college basketball, Bittle's 2024-25 season is his fourth and best, so it makes sense why he may want to enter the 2025 NBA Draft. The senior medically redshirted his 2023-24 season, so he has one year of collegiate eligibility remaining. Bittle has until June 15 to either remain selection-eligible for the 2025 NBA Draft or log a fifth season.
