Ducks can't stop UCLA stars, drop first game of season to BruinsUCLA's duo of Michaela Onyenwere and Charisma Osborne paved the way for UCLA to best Oregon at MKA on Saturday afternoon.
Dealing with leg injuryWalton has missed back-to-back games for the Buffaloes, and Pat Rooney of BuffZone.com reports that it is due to a lower-leg injury.
ImpactWalton had started the first eight games of the season for Colorado, but with a lengthy history of ACL tears, the Buffaloes will take a conservative approach with any lower-body issues the seven-foot senior is experiencing. Colorado is scheduled to host Oregon on Thursday, but if Walton remains sidelined, Jeriah Horne would presumably make his third consecutive start in his stead. Evan Battey would also presumably be asked to continue taking on a higher minutes workload.

Season-high 10 pointsParquet recorded 10 points (4-5 FG, 0-0 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 31 minutes during Saturday's 65-62 loss to UCLA.
ImpactIt was the first time Parquet reached double-digits in a game this season, as he's been used in a very minor role with less than 10 percent of the team's shots. He's been effective when he does as a result, connecting on 58 percent of his attempts. Parquet has been quiet on the stat sheet, failing to record a game with at least five boards or assists this season.
