MBB Preview | The Heat comes to Eugene for the Weekend

by Olivia Arciniega

EUGENE, Ore – After an arguably disappointing second half of January, the Oregon men’s basketball team (13-5, 5-2 PAC12) hopes to finish the month with two critical conference wins. Both Arizona schools travel to Eugene in hopes of continuing their conference winning streaks. 

The Ducks suffered two brutal losses to Utah and Colorado in the last two weeks. More recently against Utah, Jermaine Couisnard had another stellar performance, putting up 26 points and going 7-10 at the 3-point line. N'Faly Dante made his return from injury evident with a double-double (23 points and 10 rebounds). As notable as their performances were, they were overshadowed by the missed last second chances to pull out a win. Still, Oregon remains tied atop the Pac-12 with both Arizona and Arizona State, all teams with a 5-2 conference record.

The first game is Thursday, January 25th at 6:00 pm PT. against Arizona State.…

WBB PREVIEW: Oregon Hopes to Make Statement in Conference Play

By Zach Carver

Oregon wraps up a weekend in California as the Ducks look to steal an in-conference win from unranked Cal on Sunday. As of Jan. 18, the Golden Bears sit at seventh in the conference, while the Ducks are eighth. Leaving Berkeley with a win could help Oregon jump past Cal, depending on the outcomes of each team’s Friday night games. Both teams enter the weekend with a losing record in Pac-12 play. It is fair to say each team will look to bring their best in a game that holds a lot of significance in terms of the current Pac-12 standings.

Through 17 games, the Golden Bears are averaging 70 points per game on 40.7% efficiency from the field. This low percentage puts them 11th in the conference in field goal percentage. Luckily for Cal, Oregon isn't much better with its 41.4% shooting. Despite not being a great three-point shooting team, Cal takes about 42% of its shots from behind the line. Cal has yet to lose a game this season while shooting under…

WBB PREVIEW: Oregon Looks To Build Off Recent Wins In Stanford

By Zach Carver

EUGENE, Ore. — After recent wins in Eugene against the Arizona schools, the Ducks focus their attention to the bay, where they will be traveling this weekend to take on No. 8 Stanford (15-2, 4-1 PAC-12) and unranked Cal (12-5, 2-3 PAC-12). After two tough losses against ranked opponents USC and UCLA to start the new year, Oregon has found itself with two straight wins, both against conference opponents. A win at Stanford would be huge for the Ducks at this point in the season, sitting at 11-7 and 2-3 in conference play.

Ducks head coach Kelly Graves needs to bring his best with him to Stanford in order to bring the No. 8 team its first loss at home this season. This meeting might be extra tough for the Ducks considering they are going up against a Stanford team that is looking to bounce back after losing to Colorado last weekend. Don’t be surprised if Stanford looks to make a statement in their first game since the defeat against an Oregon team…
