In a stunning display of talent and determination, Jermaine Couisnard lit up the court against his former team, leading Oregon to an impressive 87-73 victory over South Carolina in the NCAA Tournament’s Midwest Region opener. Couisnard, who transferred from South Carolina following the 2022 season, delivered a career-best performance, amassing an incredible 40 points for the 11th-seeded Ducks.
Fueling Oregon’s success, Couisnard showcased his sharpshooting prowess with five successful 3-pointers and an impressive 14-of-22 shooting from the field. Alongside him, Oregon’s center N’Faly Dante contributed 23 points, further solidifying the Ducks’ dominance on the court.
Despite the Gamecocks’ efforts, including commendable performances from Meechie Johnson with 24 points and Cooper with 15, Oregon maintained control throughout the game. Whenever South Carolina attempted to mount a comeback, the Ducks had an answer, whether through Couisnard’s scoring barrage or Dante’s commanding presence in the paint.
Oregon’s victory sets up an intriguing matchup against No. 3 seed Creighton in the second round, following Creighton’s 77-60 triumph over Akron. With their remarkable performance in the Pac-12 tournament and now in the NCAA tournament, the Ducks are proving themselves as formidable contenders on the national stage.
