The Oregon Ducks dropped down form No. 13 to No. 15 in this weeks AP Rankings. Oregon is right behind a pair of SEC team in Texas A&M and Mississippi State.

Oregon dropped in the polls but stayed in the top 15 after losing to Purdue. The Ducks (15-3, 4-3 Big Ten) are No. 15 with 683 points in this week’s AP men’s college basketball poll and the same spot with 309 points in the coaches poll after Saturday’s 65-58 loss to the Boilermakers.

Oregon beat itself up for much of this game, and bad shot selection, silly turnovers, and a lack of rebounding were its downfalls. One solace the Ducks can take away is that most of their mistakes are fixable mistakes, but there’s a lot of fixing before the Ducks host Washington Tuesday night.
