AUDIO: No. 14 Oregon MBB Opens 2018-2019 Regular Season with Pair of Home Games

The Oregon mens' basketball team opens the 2018-2019 regular season on Tuesday night with in-state foe Portland State. The game will mark the debut of the highest ranked recruiting class in program history, headlined by five-star Bol Bol, who stands at a stagger 7 foot 2. The Ducks enter their ninth season under head coach Dana Altman with the No. 14 ranking in the AP's preseason poll and were selected by the Pac-12 media to win the conference. Tuesday will be a rematch of a relatively close game a season ago, when the Vikings hung with the Ducks in Eugene before Oregon pulled away for a 95-84 win. Oregon plays at Matthew Knight Arena again on Friday night when the Ducks host Eastern Washington. The Ducks defeated Western Oregon in an exhibition game 77-58 last Thursday, though the team was without starting point guard Payton Pritchard, senior forward Paul White, and a pair of injured freshmen in Louis King and Will Richardson. Listen below as Altman and White … Read More

AUDIO: Oregon Football Hits the Road to Salt Lake City

Oregon football (6-3, 3-3 in Pac-12) hits the road again this weekend following a one game home-stand that resulted in a 42-21 win over UCLA (2-7, 2-4 in Pac-12). Next up for Oregon is Utah (6-3, 4-3), which had its 38-20 loss last Saturday against Arizona State compounded with starting quarterback Tyler Huntley breaking his collarbone. The Ducks bring a defense that forced three turnovers against the Bruins this past Saturday into the matchup with Utah's backup quarterback, and Oregon turned each of those three turnovers into seven points the other way. Justin Herbert and Dillon Mitchell lead Oregon's offensive resurgence, with the junior receiver grabbing eight receptions for 156 yards and two touchdowns. Herbert went 18-32 for 264 yards and two touchdowns. Herbert and Mitchell look to bring that same production away from the comfort of Autzen Stadium and into Salt Lake City. But the Ducks will have to do that without starting center Jake Hanson for the first half, who was ejected… Read More

For the second time this season, Oregon came back to win the match after losing the first set. Last time, it was September 22nd as the Ducks took town Washington State in five sets, except Sunday afternoon it only took four stets for the #16 Oregon Ducks to take down #22 UCLA, 21-25, 25-14, 25-16, 27-25.

FB | Oregon Spoils Kelly's Return with a 42-21 Victory over UCLA

Oregon football returned to Autzen Stadium after two consecutive road losses and emerged victorious over the visiting UCLA Bruins 42-21. Saturday's win for Oregon clinched bowl eligibility for the 13th time in the past 14 seasons, as Oregon compiled 492 yards on offense. Despite being in concussion protocol for much of the week, quarterback Justin Herbert threw for 262 yards and two touchdowns, marking his 24th consecutive game with a touchdown pass. Also a game-time decision due to a concussion, Dillon Mitchell continued his tear through Pac-12 play, accounting for 156 yards and two touchdowns on eight receptions. Oregon also proved to be productive in the run game, gaining 200 yards on the ground on 42 carries. Oregon's big night, however, was kicked off with an explosive play on special teams, as Ugo Amadi returned a punt 56 yards to the end zone - Oregon's first since 2015. Oregon would push the lead in the first half as high as 21-0 on a Justin Herbert four-yard touchdown… Read More
