Oregon University suffers sixth consecutive loss! Lin Wei scores 9 points, grabs 2 rebounds, dishes 1 assist, and makes 2 steals: all points came in the final 3 minutes and 27 seconds.

On January 26th Beijing time, NCAA play continued with Oregon University losing 57-72 to the University of Washington, suffering their sixth consecutive loss. Chinese athlete Lin Wei started and logged 16 minutes, tallying 9 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2 steals, along with 1 turnover and 1 foul. He made 1 of 4 shots from the field, 1 of 2 from beyond the arc, and was flawless on 6 free throws. Lin Wei’s entire 9-point total came during the last 3 minutes and 27 seconds of the contest.

At the start of the game, Oregon University made just 1 basket in their first 10 attempts, while the University of Washington built a 14-2 lead within the first 7 minutes. Oregon then twice narrowed the gap to 7 points; the second time was at 22-15 with about 5 minutes and 30 seconds left before halftime. Immediately after, Washington went on a 10-0 run, helping them close the first half with a 34-19 advantage.

In the first 14 minutes of the second half, Oregon University made only 7 field goals from open play, but their efficient free-throw shooting—making 13 of 15 attempts—prevented Washington from extending their lead further. In the final 3 minutes and 27 seconds of the game, Lin Wei, who had only attempted two shots earlier (both missed), finally broke his scoring drought.

He first hit a three-pointer from outside, then took another three-point attempt that drew a foul, converting all three free throws. After missing a mid-range shot, Lin Wei drew another foul on a three-point try and again made all three free throws, finishing with 9 points. However, Oregon University never managed to reduce the deficit to single digits and ultimately lost by 15 points.
