OREGON WBB PREVIEW: Ducks Host Beavers in Last Home Rivalry Game in the Pac 12

by Mario Ponce

EUGENE, Ore - The Oregon Ducks women’s basketball team (11-11) will host the No. 18 Oregon State Beavers (17-3) in their last Pac 12 regular season meeting, as the Ducks move to the Big 10 next year. In their previous matchup on December 31 of last year, the Beavers won 62-41. The last rivalry game in the conference is sure to be exciting and emotional.

Oregon Ducks:

The Ducks have had a difficult season, and are second to last in the Pac 12, with a conference record of 2-7. This season has been a rebuilding one for the program and they have one of the youngest rosters in the NCAA. The Ducks are playing in one of the deepest conferences in women’s basketball, and this game will be the fourth of their last five against a ranked opponent.

MBB PREVIEW: Ducks fly South to take on LA schools.

By Liam Baker

EUGENE, Ore—Last weekend for the Oregon Ducks (14-6, 6-3 Pac-12) was one of both highs and lows. On Thursday, Center Nate Bittle made his return to the lineup after over a two-month absence with a broken wrist. He played just 12 minutes in his return, and the Ducks used a huge second half to turn a five-point halftime deficit into an 80-61 win over Arizona State. On Saturday, in front of a sold-out crowd at Matthew Knight Arena, the Caleb Love-led #9 Arizona Wildcats led from start to finish on their way to an 87-78 victory over the Ducks. In the game, guard Keeshawn Barthelemy left with an injury, and yesterday the team confirmed he will miss the rest of the season. The injury adds Barthelemy to a long list of Ducks that have missed substantial time this season. Despite the loss, Jermaine Couisnard continues to play his best ball of the season. After scoring 19 against the Sun Devils, he led the Ducks with 20 points against the Wildcats. Also, N'Faly Dante…

OREGON MBB SUFFERS FIRST HOME LOSS OF THE SEASON, FALLING SHORT AGAINST NO. 9 ARIZONA, 78-87

Written by Yaniv Horenstein. Audio Story by Leo Schulhof. EUGENE, Ore. — Oregon men’s basketball faced No. 9 Arizona Wildcats in a Saturday afternoon showdown between two of the best teams in the Pac-12. Both teams came into this matchup with a 14-5 record, but Arizona has notable wins that solidify them in the top-10. There was a lot at stake in this matchup. The winner claims the top spot in the Pac-12. Oregon had never lost at home this season, and Arizona had never lost back-to-back games under head coach Tommy Lloyd. The atmosphere at Matthew Knight Arena was the loudest it has been since Payton Pritchard was on the team in 2020. The fans packed the stands, and the entire football team came to show their support as well. When Dan Lanning was shown on the big screen, the MKA fans made sure to show him their love. In the first half, Arizona got off to a hot start. They were knocking down shots from deep, going 6-for-12 from beyond the arc. They also dominated inside, as they’ve… Read More
