SEATTLE — Having its best season from the free throw line in 11 years, Oregon had its worst night at the line since last year’s season opener.
Despite opening with a 19-4 lead, the No. 5 seed Ducks trailed at the half and were never able to regain control in an 87-83 loss to No. 4 seed Arizona Sunday night at Climate Pledge Arena.
Jackson Shelstad had 25 points, Nate Bittle had 16 points and 11 rebounds and TJ Bamba scored 17 for the Ducks (25-10), whose season comes to a close in the second round for a season straight year.
UO shot 12 of 22 from the free throw line.

Caleb Love had 29 points, nine rebounds and four assists for Arizona (24-12), which advances to play No. 1 seed Duke (33-3) in the Sweet 16 on Thursday at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
Oregon started white hot, opening a 19-4 lead in the first 5:11. But Arizona steadily chipped away and eventually took the lead after a second 9-0 run and went into the half up 42-38.
The Ducks made 6 of their last 21 attempts from the field, including just 1 of 7 threes, to end the first half.
Tobe Awaka (14 rebounds) was one of four Wildcats to score 12 points.
It’s not much of a secret just what the Arizona Cardinals need from this year’s NFL draft. Spoiler alert: it’s not much different from the position group they targeted early in free agency.
But some of the experts, and quite a few mock drafts, have talked around the possibility of the Cardinals targeting a DB, or even OL with the 16th overall pick.
Previously, it seemed unrealistic, but merely due to the fact that the Cardinals’ DL need was so great, taking any other position seemed irresponsible.
But then they added a pair of top-end players in Josh Sweat and Dalvin Tomlinson to the defensive line. Suddenly, other positions seemed less out of the question.

But the string of recent free agent signings might be indicating something else, for the time being.
Every team makes depth signings, and the Cardinals are not exceptions to that rule. After the initial wave of higher-profile signings took place, Arizona signed a trio of depth players in OL Jake Curhan, CB Jaylon Jones and OL Royce Newman.
Granted, none of these players figure to be starters, or even regular platoon players just yet, but it does seem odd that the Cardinals would continue to add depth to both of those position groups if they intended on making a swing for a player at those positions early in the draft.
Maybe GM Monti Ossenfort is simply gathering bodies, and some of these signings will be cut. Maybe OL Jonah Williams departs via trade or release. But Arizona also re-signed Evan Brown and Kelvin Beachum to provide consistency up front.
In the CB room, it’s apparent that HC Jonathan Gannon wants his secondary to be built from the ground up, with players like Garrett Williams, Max Melton, Starling Thomas V and others taking the bulk of the reps.

The Cardinals also looked to add a veteran CB in free agency, and even hosted CB Asante Samuel Jr. for a workout. No deal materialized at the time, but they then signed CB Jaylon Jones as a depth piece.
Granted, the power of BPA is real. If the Cardinals are high on a player like Will Johnson, or any of the various OL options, they’ll draft them. But with the way they’ve approached some of the other needs on the roster (with the exception of WR), it seems like Ossenfort is content to ride with the starters he has, with depth added behind them.
You could argue the DL is a similar situation, but with the exception of the two marquee additions, all the other signings in that unit have been in-house re-signs.
This could all end up becoming white noise if the Cardinals end up cutting some of their depth options or younger players, but that doesn’t necessarily feel likely right now.
It does seem like a pretty good bet that the Cardinals will go with a developmental pass rush option at No. 16 overall, or even work a trade and address one of the deeper positions with a later pick.
