No. 3 Oregon was able to hang on for a 74-60 win over No. 1 Kansas on Saturday night. The Ducks are heading to the Final Four for the first time in 78 years.
The two heroes of the night were junior Jordan Bell, who had a clutch block and rebound toward the end of the game, and sophomore Tyler Dorsey aka Mr. March, who drilled a 3-pointer that the Ducks desperately needed with just under two minutes left.
Bell and Dorsey were interviewed on the court after the win — the interview was one to remember. It was emotional, and it was awesome. The main message the two sent was, “Don’t sleep on Oregon.”
Bell (11 points, 13 rebounds, eight blocks) says:
“They sleep on us, man. Shoutout to Long Beach, they sleep on all of us out there … Ain’t nothing sweet about us, man.”
Then, Dorsey (27 points, five rebounds) says:
“We been the underdogs all three games, and that’s the mentality we take … I’m just happy for my teammates. We work so hard for this, and we left it all on the floor.
“We’re not done. We wanna put a banner up. We want a banner in Oregon. They sleep. They sleep on West Coast, man. Wake ’em up! Wake up!”
