Shelstad only missed one game, the opener against Hawaii.
They both played in wins over Rice, So Dakota St, and Oregon State as well as losses to Auburn and SDSU.
Then Bittle missed the two games against Creighton and USC.
So they have had their full roster for 5 games, going 3-2 in them. Losing to Auburn with a full roster is not a shock. Auburn is 7-2 with losses to Houston (by 1) and Michigan.
Losing to SDSU with a full roster is more concerning. The Aztecs are 4-3 with a loss to Troy.
What is a bigger concern about the Ducks is their numbers. They have been a pretty bad shooting team and their defense hasn't been very good.
Clearly the injuries have affected their results, but over 8 games they haven't been very good.
I suspect Bittle will play against us, but he may not be 100%.
