MBB Story: Oregon's Bid For Back-to-Back Home-Court Wins Against UCLA Falls Short

Written by: Jonah Bruneau

Eugene, OR– In front of a nearly sold out Matthew Knight Arena on the eve of Super Bowl Sunday, the No. 7 UCLA Bruins looked to earn a fourth straight win on the road against a hungry Oregon Ducks bunch. After Oregon’s victory on Thursday night against the USC Trojans, optimism was high around town with the Ducks also looking to upset the Bruins at home in back-to-back seasons. That story however failed to come true as after a competitive first half from Oregon, UCLA took over in commanding fashion in the second half to score a 70-63 win. With Arizona losing earlier in the evening to a struggling Stanford team, the Bruins have now put themselves in the conversation to be the high standard of the PAC-12. As for Oregon, their 11th loss of the season puts them in an extremely tight position as the bubble watch for the NCAA Tournament begins to thin out with each game the rest of the way in the regular season.

MBB Preview: Ducks' Matchup with #7 UCLA Continues Must-Win Home Stretch

by Ryan Oppenheimer

Since the Oregon Ducks (15-10, 9-5 Pac-12) got back to full health, they have looked like a different team. A triumphant upset over Arizona at the beginning of January opened the door for a potential tournament bid, and they have kept hope alive ever since. They have played their way into the bubble watch, but to stay there, they must take care of business against a tough UCLA team (20-4, 11-2 Pac-12).

Oregon is coming off an impressive 78-60 home win Thursday vs USC, in which they shot over 50% from the field — a feat that they are undefeated when achieving. The duo of guard Will Richardson and center N'Faly Dante has been the main engine for the Ducks, as Richardson ranks second in conference with 5.5 assists per game and Dante ranks fourth in FG% with 62.9%. The return of transfer guard Jermaine Couisnard has also been crucial, as his 12.4 points per game have added some balance to the offense.

WLAX STORY | Oregon is Set to Take on Xavier in the First Game of the Lacrosse Season

Written By Jakob Salao

Eugene, Ore. — The Oregon Ducks Women’s Lacrosse team is set to take on their first opponent of the season, Xavier, on Saturday at 1 pm. The Ducks will be at home in Pape field, with a squad of players that many fans will recognize, along with some new additions to the team. 

For the Xavier Musketeers, this is the first official women’s lacrosse game in program history and the first for their head coach Meg Decker. 

Head Coach Chelsea Hoffman is in her 5th season with the Ducks, looking to improve her 12-43 career record at Oregon. To help her out, the Ducks recently promoted Associate Head Coach Caitlin Prince. Prince came on to the team last year and bolstered the attacking force for the Ducks, featuring 7 double-digit goal scorers for the first time since 2017 and two players (Shonly Wallace and Hanna Hilcoff) who scored 40+ goals for the first time since 2018.

MBB Story | Oregon Continues their Bid for the NCAA Tournament with a Dominant Win over USC

Written Story by Jakob Salao

Eugene, Ore. -- The Oregon Ducks Men’s Basketball team (15-10) beat the USC Trojans (17-7) at home on Thursday 78-60. This was the first and only matchup between both teams this season and was home to one of the most electrifying crowds in Oregon sports this year. 

Towards the end of this season, the Ducks have been trying to make a case for a spot in the NCAA tournament and this impressive win is only improving their resume. Last season, the Ducks split the series against the Trojans 1-1, losing at home to a game-winning dagger from Drew Peterson. It left a sour taste in the Ducks’ mouths; players and fans alike. Although it wasn’t the sole reason Oregon missed the tournament, it certainly didn’t help. 

During this year’s matchup, it felt like every Duck in Matthew Knight Arena was giving it their all to win the game, including the Oregon student section. It’s no secret that MKA is a tough place…
