THE 2022-23 SEASON could potentially be a crossroads for the future of Oregon’s men's basketball team. Results have been rather inconsistent the last few years, as the team has struggled to bring their best to the floor over an extended period of time. Head Coach Dana Altman claimed his position at Oregon in 2010. In his time with the Ducks, his teams have won 3 PAC-12 regular season championships and 3 PAC-12 tournaments. His best team to date was the historic 2016-17 team that won 33 games and made the Final Four, before ultimately losing a classic semifinal game to champion North Carolina. However, such success has been hard to replicate. Oregon made Sweet Sixteens in 2019 and 2021, but consistency has been largely absent. Last season, they beat 3 teams ranked in the top 12, but lost to 9 unranked teams in the regular season and had to settle for an NIT berth.

Oregon women’s basketball are approaching their 2022-23 season. The Ducks are ranked 20th nationally according to the AP top 25 preseason poll. Here's a season preview of the Ducks before they start their season this Monday November 7th against Northwestern at 3 PM. This offseason, the Ducks had multiple players transfer out and leave. Those key players are Nyara Sabally, Maddie Scherr, Sydney Parrish, and Kylee Watson. Nyara Sabally is in the WNBA now playing for the New York Liberty. Scherr transferred to Kentucky, Parrish transferred to Indiana, and Watson transferred to Notre Dame. After these Ducks transferred, Oregon definitely lost some depth. Scherr is a solid ball handler and shooter, Parrish is a knock down shooter, and 6’4 forward Kylee Watson left Oregon with less height once she left. Maddie Scherr averaged 3.7 points and 3.3 assists for Oregon in 31 games played last season. Sydney Parrish averaged 8.5 PPG in 32 games…

If you started following the Oregon football team in the days of Marcus Mariota, and the end of the Chip Kelly regime like I did, a number of explosive running backs probably stick out in your mind. Names like DeAnthony Thomas, Royce Freeman, and LaMichael James bring back memories of lighting up the field and transitioning talent to the NFL with varying amounts of success. But what about one name that doesn’t get recognized or brought up as often?

Byron Marshall attended Valley Christian High School in San Jose, California. Graded as a 4-star athlete, Marshall ran for 914 yards and nine touchdowns his senior year in an injury-shortened season. It was enough to impress major programs to send offers his way with Nick Saban…

EUGENE, OR - #16 Oregon Volleyball (15-5, 9-3) takes on the #19 Washington Huskies (16-6, 8-4) and the Washington State Cougars (16-7, 8-4) this weekend in Matthew Knight Arena. The first of the two matches is against the Huskies on Friday night at 6:00 PM PT. The second match against the Cougars is Sunday at 12:00 PM PT. This past weekend, Oregon headed to Arizona where they extended their winning streak to 5 games with ease. Oregon Volleyball has been very hot during this midpoint of their season, averaging 14.10 kills per set, 13.31 assists per set, and 14.42 digs per set. However, this weekend will be no walk in the park. Oregon, who sits at #2 in the Pac-12, will have their work cut out for them as they take on #3 in the Pac-12, Washington State.

EUGENE, Ore. – The Oregon Ducks (4-8-6) prepare for a home game against the Oregon State Beavers (5-10-3) that will take place at 7:00 PM PST in Eugene this Friday. This will be the first time back at Papé field for the Ducks since their tie against Cal. Both Oregon teams have been on the road in Arizona for their last two games. Neither team can qualify for the postseason regardless of the result, but it will be important for team morale to close the season on a high note. For Oregon, the biggest story here will be the records that key members of the team are hoping to set and extend in the final game of the season. For Oregon state, winning another game within the division would lessen the worry created by their disappointing 1-8-1 in-conference record.
