EUGENE, Ore. — After tipping off the season with two losses in Klamath Falls at the Cascade/Crossroads Classic, the Bushnell men's basketball team returns home to the Morse Center where they will host the Division III Linfield Wildcats Friday night at 7:30 p.m. PT.

Despite the 0-2 start, there is still plenty of excitement surrounding the latest version of the Beacons under sixth-year head coach Eddie Alexander. This team pushes it up and down the court in a hurry and is made up of several former Oregon high school standout scorers. Returning 14 players, they have largely the same personnel as last season — which saw them finish 12-17 and eke out the No. 8 seed in the playoffs — but they hope to benefit from an added year of experience. Five of these returners are seniors, including the school's all-time leading scorer, guard Stevie Schlabach. He forms a one-two punch with center Spencer Hoffman, with the two combining for 31.4 points per…

Eugene, OR-- On Saturday, Oregon will look to extend its win streak to four as the Trojans and 2022 Heisman winner Caleb Williams come to Eugene. The biggest storyline will be centered around the USC defense as it plays its first game in the post-Alex Grinch era. Grinch was fired after the Trojan’s 52-42 loss to Washington as USC will look to make a change with the defense continuing to struggle in 2023. Even though SC has gone unranked in the latest CFP rankings, this should be a great matchup between two Heisman hopefuls in Bo Nix and Williams leading two of the best offensive units in the country.

USC: It’s been a season of turmoil for the Trojans who came into the season with national title aspirations after returning Williams, as well as having one of the top recruiting classes in college football. Now USC will have to find its footing and try to avoid leaving Eugene 7-4 as the hope for a New Year’s six bowl game…

EUGENE, Ore. — The Ducks (1-0) all but led from start to finish in their season-opening 82-71 win over the Georgia Bulldogs and now take on the Montana Grizzlies (1-0) in their first home game of the season. Playing in the Hall of Fame Classic in Las Vegas, Georgia scored the first point of the game but the Ducks responded with an 11-0 run and led the rest of the way. While the Bulldogs cut the Ducks' lead to as little as four early in the second half, Oregon pushed the lead to as much as 20 as they cruised to victory. In the game, Oregon dominated the paint, outscoring Georgia by 18 and out-rebounding them by 22. N'Faly Dante had his way all game, scoring 16 points and pulling down 21 rebounds. His 21 rebounds were the most by a Duck in 49 years. Fellow big man Nate Bittle added 13 points and Brennan Risby contributed 16 points off the bench including a thunderous dunk over a Bulldog defender. It was an overall strong performance by the Ducks to open non-…

Winners of eight straight games, the Thurston Colts will have their biggest challenge of the season begin Friday at 7:00 PM. Making the drive to Portland for the start of 5A playoffs, the Colts will need to come up with a new strategy for the Wildcats, who dispatched them 44-15 in an earlier meeting this year.

QB Noah Blair leads a Thurston attack looking to complete the upset. In last week’s season finale, Blair threw for 326 yards and four touchdowns. A second year starter despite being only a junior, Blair’s numbers have all improved in his second year under center, nearing 3000 yards on the season with a completion percentage of 74. Blair’s favorite target is senior Walker Bonar, who accounted for 16 of Thurston’s touchdowns this season and put up over 1000 receiving yards on the year. Ethan Burkhead is the only player outside of Blair with 50+ carries, and he’s done his part to help even things out in a pass heavy…

EUGENE, Ore - Hoop season comes to Eugene once again, as the Oregon Ducks Women’s Basketball program suit up for their 10th season under head coach Kelly Graves. The team comes off consecutive 20 win seasons, but a loss in the Pac-12 quarterfinals to Stanford kept the team off the NCAA tournament for the first time since the 2015-16 season. Now the Ducks look to keep up the pace and return to March Madness.

Oregon’s deficiency last season was its conference play, as it had a 7-11 record against Pac-12 opponents. Now that six teams here start the season ranked, and two do so in the Top 5, Oregon must start strong and capitalize on it’s opportunities in a stacked Pac-12. The Ducks will play a series of 11 non-conference clashes to start the season, and won’t take on a conference opponent until a New Year’s Eve game up in Corvallis against the Oregon State Beavers. The team will play throughout all of January and February before…
