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.

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…
