Oregon MBB NCAA Tournament Hopes End in Vegas
By Knight Jarecki
Normally March means that a Dana Altman-led Oregon team is rolling. March 2022 was not the case as Altman's 5-seeded Ducks were bested by the 4-seeded Colorado Buffaloes 80-69 Thursday afternoon inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. With the loss, it ends Oregon's hopes to make the NCAA Basketball Tournament.
Half 1
Oregon started the game shooting the ball extremely cold. The Ducks began the opening 6 minutes shooting just 27.3% from the field as Oregon chose to drive the ball inside and put up countless contested shots. Jacob Young was able to push the pace early scoring 4 of Oregon's 8 points to begin the game. Colorado went to the big-man Evan Battey early on with the senior forward connecting on his first two shots for 5 points as Colorado led 9-8 with just under 14min to play. After the first media timeout, the Ducks defense went to work. Oregon shut out Colorado for over 2 and a half min with…

Written and Audio Stories by Austin Ota
The Oregon Baseball team dominated from the first pitch, scoring in bunches and pitching their way to a victory over the Portland Pilots, 18-2. Following a four-game weekend series, Oregon decided to trot out true freshman Jacob Hughes, and he delivered in a big way. For a team that has struggled with command issues throughout the season, Hughes mixed a high-80's fastball with a solid, diving curveball and a timely splitter to three shutout innings. More than this, he limited hard contact, allowing just three seeing-eye singles. He also worked efficiently, finishing his three innings with just 34 pitches thrown. Following Hughes, Dylan Sabia, Logan Mercado, Scott Ellis, and RJ Gordon combined for 6 innings of two run ball, allowing just five hits and one walk.
Offensively, there were strong showings up and down the lineup, but the man at the top set the table the entire night. After beginning the season…

Read MoreSTORY: Oregon Baseball suffers a 7-5 loss in series finale vs. UCSB
Written Story by Alex Roth
The Oregon Ducks baseball team suffered a close 7-5 home loss to the UCSB Gauchos Sunday afternoon at PK Park. The loss gives the Ducks a series split with the Gauchos after the Ducks won the first two games of the weekend but could not secure a series win. The Gauchos would jump out in front early on, scoring 3 runs in the first inning when Ducks’ pitcher Tommy Brandenburg hit the first two batters he saw and then walked two more to bring in a run for the Gauchos. UCSB would then capitalize with runners in scoring position when Leo Mosby hit a two run double, bringing the UCSB lead to 3-0.
Oregon would strike back in the third inning, adding two runs courtesy of a Brennan Milone groundout and Jacob Walsh RBI Double. Jordan Sprinkle would extend the UCSB lead back to 2 with a solo home run in the top of the 5th inning, but a Tanner Smith solo shot and a Jacob Walsh RBI double in the bottom of the 5th inning would tie the…

Read MoreSTORY: Ducks baseball come back for the walk off win against the Gauchos
By Kent Williams
Friday nights ballgame between the Oregon Ducks(6-3) and the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos(5-3) was full of twists and turns. For the first 7 innings, UCSB held a slight advantage thanks to two solo home runs from freshman Zander Darby. Then, a reversed foul call that cost Oregon a run followed by a missed balk call got head coach Mark Wasikowski fired up and eventually tossed from the 1-run game. The Ducks responded by scoring a run in the 8th to tie it up on a Colby Shade single. The top of the ninth saw Kolby Somers get into some trouble but he showed why he's one of Oregon's best pitchers by getting himself out of the jam with three straight strikeouts. Once the bottom half of the inning rolled around, second baseman Gavin Grant took a big hack at the first pitch he saw and sent the fans into a frenzy, walking off the Gauchos with a bomb just under the left field scoreboard for the Ducks win, 3-2.
