AUDIO: Next Challenge Awaits Oregon Women's Basketball at Sweet 16 in Spokane
After a dominant weekend in the First and Second Rounds of the NCAA Tournament, the Ducks are set for a Sweet 16 matchup with a team that looks awfully familiar. No. 11 Seed Central Michigan, a team that scraps and shoots threes, is the next roadblock on Oregon's 2018 path to the Final Four. The location will be familiar as well, with head coach Kelly Graves returning to his old stomping grounds of Spokane where he coached for over a decade at Gonzaga.
