Brennan Rigsby throws down a two-handed jam on the fast break to extend Oregon's lead over Michigan

DECEMBER 2, 2023 • FOX SPORTS

Mahamadou Diawara - In starting lineup Diawara is among the starters for Saturday's game against Michigan.

Impact Diawara joins the starting unit for the Ducks with Nate Bittle (wrist) and N'Faly Dante (hamstring) both sidelined for some time, positioning Diawara for an expanded role moving forward. The senior big man is averaging 4.8 points and 4.3 boards over 13.8 minutes per game and figures to see a major uptick moving forward.

Brennan Rigsby - Gets starting nod Rigsby is in the starting five for Saturday's game versus Michigan

Impact Rigsby will make just his second start of the season Saturday. He tallied 12 points and one rebound in 30 minutes in his only other starting appearance on Nov. 10.

Keeshawn Barthelemy - Available Saturday Barthelemy (undisclosed) is good to go Saturday against Michigan off the bench, James Crepea of The Oregonian reports.

Impact While he wasn't included in the starting lineup, it appears Barthelemy is available for the Ducks in some capacity. The senior point guard is averaging 11.5 points, 3.0 boards, 2.2 assists and 1.2 steals over 27.2 minutes in his six games this season, and he should see plenty of action Saturday if his issue remains in check.

Couisnard leads Oregon against Michigan after 24-point outing

Oregon hosts the Michigan Wolverines after Jermaine Couisnard scored 24 points in Oregon's 99-91 loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide

DECEMBER 1, 2023 • Associated Press

Kario Oquendo - Scores season-high 17 Oquendo registered 17 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, one assist, four blocks and one steal in 25 minutes during Saturday's 99-91 loss to Alabama.

Impact Oquendo, in his first year at Oregon following two seasons at Gerogia, looked sharp in a throwback against SEC competition. The 6-foot-4 guard is an elite athlete who thrives in transition offensively, but translating his athleticism to defensive production is a season-long trend to monitor. He posted just 0.8 combined steals and blocks in 29 games last year.

Mahamadou Diawara - Set for expanded role Diawara will likely have to take on a significantly expanded role for Oregon in the coming weeks, as both N'Faly Dante (hamstring) and Nate Bittle (wrist) are facing extended absen...

Impact Diawara had already taken on a bit of an expanded role over the last two games with both aforementioned centers sidelined. He logged eight points and five boards across 16 minutes last Friday against Tennessee State before playing a season-high 20 minutes Monday against Florida A&M. He didn't take a single shot in that game despite the extended run, and even though he was still good for six boards and three blocks, the offensive output suggests he'll be an inconsistent fantasy option despite the major opportunity on the horizon. Diawara at least brings a tremendous amount of experience to the table, as he appeared in 117 career games through four seasons at Stetson before making the move to Oregon for his fifth and final year. What's most concerning is that Diawara is essentially the last true center left on the roster, so should he experience foul trouble at any point, the Ducks will be forced to move to a small-ball lineup with freshman Kwame Evans playing the five.

N'Faly Dante - Out four weeks after surgery Dante (hamstring) underwent successful surgery this week and will be reevaluated in four weeks, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Dante has yet to suit up since the season opener when he put up a stellar stat line of 16 points and 21 boards in a victory over Georgia. He's missed the three games since and was already ruled out for this weekend's Emerald Coast Classic, but with Friday's news, the outlook is far more serious than originally anticipated. Fellow center Nate Bittle (wrist) also underwent surgery this week and won't be evaluated for eight weeks, leaving the Ducks severely depleted at the five. Mahamadou Diawara and Kwame Evans will both see significantly expanded roles until at least late-December as a result.

Nate Bittle - Out for Monday's contest Bittle (wrist) will not play in Monday's game against Florida A&M, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Bittle suffered a wrist injury in the team's last game against Tennessee State. It's poor timing considering fellow big man N'Faly Dante is dealing with a hamstring injury and is also out Monday. Oregon will hope their two bigs can return for the Emerald Coast Classic beginning on Friday against Santa Clara.

Kwame Evans - Underwhelms in start Evans registered six points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and three steals over 20 minutes during Friday's 92-67 victory over Tennessee State.

Impact Evans has received back-to-back opportunities to start in place of N'Faly Dante (hamstring), but he has delivered just 10 points on 25.0 percent shooting over that span. Racking up 18 rebounds is a silver lining, but Evans has yet to display an ability to step into a larger role. Nate Bittle (wrist) exiting Friday's contest early due to injury could test that notion even further moving forward.
