Oregon cruises into the second round with a 93-77 win over Iona. The Ducks didn't miss Chris Boucher in their tournament opener, thanks largely to a hyper-efficient offense (1.3 points per possession).

Iona made a spirited run at Oregon to slice the lead down to just three points, and Dana Altman was concerned enough that he brought star player Dillon Brooks back into the game despite having two fouls. The gamble has worked so far, as the Ducks have pushed their lead back to seven. Brooks still needs to be very careful the rest of this half.
