The Story

The number three ranked University of Houston Cougars (4-0) come into Matthew Knight Arena Sunday night in a game for men’s basketball that will feature the highest-ranked team the unranked Oregon Ducks (2-1) have hosted since last year’s 78-70 loss to the Baylor Bears on December 18th, 2021. This is the Cougars’ second time playing Oregon in the regular season in as many years, as they put up a dominant 78-49 win against the Ducks last year at the Maui Jim Maui Invitational on Nov. 24th of 2021. The Cougars have been March Madness staples the previous few seasons, reaching the Elite Eight in 2022 before eventually falling to Villanova. Oregon currently sits at number eight in the Pac-12 before conference play has started.

Oregon is coming off a 30-point win against Montana State University as they were able to take care of business against the Bobcats 81-51. The Houston Cougars are…

Facing a USC team(20-9, 12-6 Pac-12) that they had struggled against earlier in the season, the Oregon Ducks volleyball team(20-5, 14-3 Pac-12) started Sunday's match looking to extend a winning streak of 10. Through the first two sets, it was neck and neck, but USC was able to scrape away both, 25-21 and 25-23. Once the 3rd set rolled around, it was a brand new match for the Ducks, going on to win the final three sets 25-20, 25-20, and 15-12.

In a heavily offensive oriented match for both sides, it was the Ducks stars of Mimi Colyer and Brooke Nuneviller leading the way. The freshman Colyer set a career high in kills with 29, and was just about all around dominant, hitting .463 for the match to go with 4 service aces, 4 digs, and 4 blocks. Nuneviller was also fantastic, putting up 19 kills to the tune of a .421 hitting percentage, along with 7 digs and a couple service aces.

EUGENE, OR – No. 12 Oregon Football (9-2, 7-1 Pac-12) entered their Week 13 matchup against No. 10 Utah (8-3, 6-2 Pac-12) but were able to turn the tide after losing at home to the University of Washington the week prior. After seeing their playoff hopes slip through their fingers, the Ducks defense was key to shutting down Utah’s attack. Oregon was able to impress the home crowd and take this matchup, 20-17.

The story of the first half was the return of Heisman-hopeful Bo Nix. Prior to the game, the availability of Nix for Oregon was relatively unknown, but when No. 10 came out on the field under center for the Ducks, Autzen erupted. Due to a leg injury, the dual-threat Nix was relegated to only the ability of his arm, but he threw an efficient 25-37 with a touchdown and a late interception. At the onset of the second quarter, Nix found young receiver Donte Thornton, Jr. on a…

The No. 21 Oregon Ducks (3-0) will look to stay undefeated on the year on Nov. 21 against the Southern Utah Thunderbirds (2-2) in Oregon’s final home game before the PK85 Invitational in Portland. The Ducks enter the matchup in the midst of a three-game tear that’s seen them post a cumulative +123 point differential and win by at least 37 points in each contest. Conversely, Southern Utah has posted back-to-back losses against unranked teams, including a 91-38 blowout at Gonzaga. As Southern Utah looks to right the ship, Oregon will work to continue the smooth sailing that's brought it to five straight NCAA tournament appearances.

After losing star forward Sedona Prince to injury before the season opener, questions loomed about Oregon’s ability to compensate for her absence on such short notice. True freshman and five-star recruit Grace VanSlooten has answered all…

THE 12TH RANKED OREGON DUCKS have found themselves at a major crossroads this week. On one hand, last week’s 37-34 loss to rival Washington all but eliminated them from the College Football Playoff discussion. The status of quarterback Bo Nix is to be determined, as he suffered an apparent ankle injury last week. On the other hand, winning the PAC-12 and making the Rose Bowl is still a very realistic goal for the Ducks. We will learn a lot about the resilience of the Oregon coaches and players in this week’s matchup against #10 Utah. With many of their preseason goals still in front of them, the Ducks could bounce back with a hard-fought win over a quality Ute team. Or, they could be discouraged after falling out of national contention, and suffer their second straight home loss.

Oregon Volleyball defeated the UCLA Bruins on Friday 3-2 at home in Matthew Knight Arena. This extends the Ducks' winning streak to 10 straight wins; a streak that started back in early October where Oregon first beat UCLA this season. This is also the first time Oregon has swept UCLA in the season since 2018. Although on paper this may sound like Oregon got the win easily, the real match was not won that easily.

The first set was a tumultuous back-and-forth set where neither team was able to jump out to a sizable lead. As soon as Oregon would find a lead, UCLA would go on a scoring run to get it right back. It wasn’t until Oregon scored their 19th point, and forced a UCLA timeout, that the team was able to secure their lead. As they lead 19-17, the crowd in MKA began to explode with chants and claps in support of the Ducks. The Ducks responded to this energy with a 9-1 scoring run in order to secure a victory in…
