N'Faly Dante - Plays through knee troubleDante chipped in two points (0-1 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 18 minutes during Saturday's 94-74 loss to Washington State.ImpactAccording to Chris Hansen of the Oregon Register-Guard, Dante left Thursday's matchup against Washington after appearing to tweak his knee. It occurred early in the second half and he did not return to the game, as Dana Altman didn't want to take any risks given the 6-11 Dante had knee surgery last season. On Saturday, Dante started alongside Francis Kepnang -- a unique alignment that game the Ducks two 6-11 players in their frontcourt. Unfortunately, Oregon took a lopsided loss, which cost them a first-round bye in the upcoming Pac-12 tournament. The Ducks will now begin postseason play with a matchup against Oregon State on Wednesday.
