AUDIO: Oregon Women's Basketball Inching Closer to Season Opener
The Oregon women's basketball team's 2018-2019 season opener is approaching as the Ducks continue its preseason preparations. With such a strong returning group of players fresh off the program's first ever sweep of the regular season and tournament Pac-12 Championship and consecutive appearances in the Elite Eight, head coach Kelly Graves has seen his team pickup right where the left off. The one noticeable absence on this year's squad is the program's all-time three-point shooter in Lexi Bando, who graduated after last season. Despite having to make up for her productivity, the Ducks have seen transfer Erin Boley step in nicely thus far and in fact, the team expect to see an increase in their looks behind the arc. Listen below as coach Graves along with junior leaders Sabrina Ionescu and Ruthy Hebard spoke with the media prior to Tuesday afternoon's practice.

AUDIO: No. 19 Oregon Football Searching for Quicker Start at Arizona
No. 19 Oregon football's 34-20 loss at Washington State the past weekend was enumerated by a dreadful first half of offense where the Ducks amassed a season-low 39 total yards and zero points. With another road trip, this time to meet Arizona, on deck for Oregon, quarterback Justin Herbert and the offense are looking to put that first half in their past. Entering last Saturday, the Ducks were one of the nation's most efficient teams at scoring the ball in the first half with an average of 27 points, and will look to use the opening half as their advantage once again against the Wildcats this Saturday. Listen below as Herbert and the offense spoke with the media after practice on Tuesday morning.

AUDIO: Back to the Drawing Board for No. 19 Oregon Football
It's back to the drawing board for No. 19 Oregon football (5-2, 2-2) following a disappointing 34-20 loss to No. 14 Washington State (6-1, 3-1) in Pullman last Saturday.The loss was highlighted by a dismal 58 yards on the ground and the zero points the Ducks' offense mustered in the first half en route to a 27-0 deficit. Despite outscoring the Cougars 20-7 in the second half, Oregon couldn't overcome Mike Leach's air raid offense that tallied 323 yards and four touchdown from quarterback Gardner Minshew II. Next up for Oregon is another road trip, this time to the Tucson desert for a meeting with Arizona (3-5, 2-3). It'll be the first non-ranked opponent for Oregon after their first four conference foes all appeared in the top 25. With the whispers of a playoff run silenced and an increasingly complicated path to the Pac-12 north title, the Ducks are looking to stabilize and prepare for the season's final stretch. Listen below as head coach Mario Cristobal spoke with the media at his… Read More
