Oregon Men's Basketball Crowned PAC-12 Champions after Three-Point Frenzy in Corvallis

Oregon defeated Oregon State 80-67 Sunday night at Gill Coliseum to be crowned PAC-12 regular-season champions. Oregon ended the season winning 10 of 11 and it was never in doubt tonight as Oregon had the lead for every second after Will Richardson’s opening bucket. Richardson was blistering hot through the first 20 minutes going 5-5 from three with 17 points, eventually hitting a new career-high with 22. With the Ducks shooting 57% from the field and 65% from three it was natural that five Ducks scored in double digits: Richardson-22, Omoruyi-18, Williams-14, Figueroa-10, Duarte-10. Oregon was full of energy tonight and in an empty Gill Coliseum, Oregon felt like the home team from the tip.

The second half almost felt like a formality, Oregon State would pull it within single digits several times but almost on cue, Oregon would drill a three to make it a double-digit affair. The 15 threes marked a season-high for the Ducks and their most since 2017. After being picked…

Cruse Rolls as Ducks Fly Past the Vikings and Broncos

By: Xaiver Aguiar

Home sweet home. The Oregon Ducks finally were able to play softball at Jane Sanders Stadium Saturday afternoon, and the on-the-field did not disappoint. The number 6 team in the nation was able to add two more games into the win column with 4-2 and 3-0 wins, respectively.

The first game against the Portland State Vikings was a slugfest. Vikings pitcher Allicitie Frost was making her collegiate debut but looked like a seasoned veteran on the mound. Haley Cruse scored off a hit by pitch in the 3rd, but Frost wouldn't allow the Ducks to get a mark in the hit collum. The first Oregon hit came in the bottom of the 5th when it was Cruse, of course, who notched an RBI double. The Ducks extended that lead in the bottom of the 6th after a 2RBI single from Hannah Delgado.

While the bats might have been dormant, the Duck pitching was blazing hot. Brooke Yanez was locked in and pitched a gem. She recorded 12 strikeouts and…

Story: Oregon Volleyball Loses 7 Match Winning Streak in 3-0 Loss to Washington

Written story (by Khalil Hines)

Friday afternoon, the #7 ranked Washington Huskies faced off against the #20 Oregon Ducks in the first matchup of their top 25 showdown this weekend in Eugene. The Ducks were looking to keep the momentum of their 7-match win streak, however, the Huskies came out swinging early and rode that effort to a three-game sweep.

Washington controlled the pace early with six blocks in the first set and ended the series with 12 total. Middle Blocker Lauren Sanders handled much of the battle with nine blocks alone for the Huskies. She was helped out by teammate Samantha Dreshcel who finished with 16 kills herself. For Oregon, Brooke Nuneviller played with effort to the tune of 12 kills, 11 digs, and a .311 hit percentage.

Head Coach Matt Ulmer talked about the Ducks inability to attack the Huskies blocks -“We work really hard - on how to attack a block, and I thought we were pretty undisciplined with that… when…

Story: Oregon Men’s Basketball Tops UCLA 82-74 and Slides Into First Place in the Pac-12

Story by: Patrick McMahon

The Oregon men’s basketball team came out on top against UCLA 82-74 in a first place showdown at Matthew Knight Arena on Wednesday evening.

It seemed like neither defense came out of the locker room for the first half, as both teams shot over 50% from the field during that period. Even though Chris Duarte poured in 8 first half points, he struggled taking care of the ball, giving it away 3 times in that span. One person who could not be stopped early was Jules Bernard for the Bruins, as he couldn’t miss throughout the first half, putting up 15 points, and missing only 1 shot. UCLA led bro only 2 at the break, 39-37.

The second half was a tale of two runs, as UCLA went up by as many as 9 with 11 minutes to play, with Bernard adding 8 more points to his total. However, Oregon’s press and hot shooting allowed them to turn the tables on the Bruins and outscore them by 17 the rest of the way. Oregon forced 12…

Story: Oregon's Hot Shooting Downs Arizona, Improve to 17-5

One win down, two to go. The Oregon Ducks defeated the Arizona Wildcats 80-69 Monday evening in a hard-fought victory. It was the start of a three-game homestand for the Ducks, and it went as well as coach Dana Altman could've hoped.

Story: Xaiver Aguiar

The Ducks came out firing on all cylinders, hitting four of their first five triples to take an early advantage. Arizona's coach Sean Miller was infuriated by his team's play, which quickly picked up after a timeout. Arizona started exploiting their height advantage and getting to the basket at will. The Wildcat played a variation of a box-and-one defense which, stagnated Oregon's offense. That allowed Arizona to gain its first lead of the contest, but it was the only one they'd have. After an Altman timeout, Oregon had a 13-3 surge before the break to take a 40-36 lead.

The second have was all Oregon. The Duck's downtown barrage was too much for the Wildcats to handle. Shooting 12-22…
