MBB PREVIEW: Oregon Looks To Move To 2-0 As They Take On UC Irvine.

By Liam Baker

Eugene, OR —The #21 Oregon Ducks opened the season on Monday night with a dominant 80-45 win over the Florida A&M Rattlers, and they will look to build on that performance when they take on the UC Irvine Anteaters (1-0) on Friday night. The Ducks bullied the Rattlers in the paint, scoring 42 points and pulling down 44 rebounds. Senior N'Faly Dante led the Ducks in scoring, rebounds and steals, posting 16 points, 10 rebounds and four steals. Despite controlling the paint against Florida A&M, Oregon struggled from behind the three-point line. Senior Will Richardson and Colorado transfer Keeshawn Barthelemy both went 2-8 from behind the line, and the team shot 24% from three. Freshman Kel'el Ware, a 2022 McDonald's All-American, contributed eight points and three blocks off the bench in his first game for the Ducks.

The Anteaters dispatched Chapman University 96-50 in their opener on Monday. Juniors Devin Tillis and Dawson Baker both…

STORY: Harsh Reality Ends Chaotic MLB Season

by Charlie Martindale

21st century baseball has been in its awkward phase for a long time now. With the sport notoriously hungry for growth, everything from the rulebook to the rosters to rumors of expansion and relocation have caused the last few World Series’ to feel loose and unplanned. Late October and early November, the rare time of year when MLB might receive mention in the cloud of constant NFL and NBA stories, gives the greater sports world a few moments to ask why next year will hold so many new rules, why players who had just become the faces of franchises were traded, and why the Houston Astros, one of a handful of teams the wider world knows a thing or two about, are still so good.

Houston’s defeat of Philadelphia in six games last week brought an end to a month-long speedrun of dominance, with the Astros winning their second title in franchise history, and first that comes without a host of disagreement and outrage from the rest of…

WBB Story: Oregon Women's Basketball Kicks Off Their Season with a 100-Point Win

Written Story by Maddie Lang

EUGENE, Ore. - Oregon Women’s Basketball (1-0)  kicked off their season in Matthew Knight Arena defeating the Northwestern Wildcats (0-1) 100-57. Oregon started the game strong, scoring the first nine points of the game. Oregon’s continued pressure on the Wildcat offense gave them seven forced turnovers in the first quarter alone.

MBB Story: Oregon Dominates in their opening matchup against Florida A&M

Written Story by Jakob Salao

Eugene, Ore.— Oregon’s Men’s basketball team opened their season with an 80-45 victory against the Florida A&M Rattlers. The matchup was the first in a new partnership between the Pac-12 and the Southwestern Athletic Conference in what’s known as the Pac-12/SWAC Legacy Series. Along with bringing Historically Black Colleges and Universities into a partnership with the Pac-12, it will also give Oregon the opportunity to play against Florida A&M away next season. 

Oregon’s lineup saw four returners make the start: Guard Will Richardson, Guard Rivaldo Soares, Forward Quincy Guerrier, and Center N’faly Dante. The last spot was filled out by Guard Keeshawn Barthelemy, the Junior transfer from Colorado. These players got the start, but this didn’t mean that Head Coach Dana Altman forgot about the other players that joined Oregon over the off-season. The Ducks saw an efficient rotation between their starters…
