Each team has had its hiccups, be it with tough
early-season losses and on-again and off-again
COVID-related postponements, but the University
of Oregon’s men’s and women’s basketball teams
now seem to have found their strides. Both teams have
established winning streaks to set themselves up at
Matthew Knight Arena this weekend for a chance to
move higher in the Pac-12 Conference standings. The
Oregon women — 11-5 overall, 3-1 in the conference
entering the week and ranked 19th in the country — will
host UCLA and USC on Friday and Sunday. The Ducks
have won four straight, including home triumphs over
Arizona and Connecticut, both ranked in the top 10 at
the time. Oregon’s men’s team — 12-7, 5-3 and winners
of six of its last seven games after a bumpy December
— fills in the gap Saturday with a contest against
(don’t call it “The Civil War”) in-state rival Oregon
State. The two teams met Jan. 10 in Corvallis, with the
Ducks prevailing 78-76. With March Madness around
the corner, every possession of every game matters,
so buckle up Duck basketball fans. This is the start of
your favorite time of the year.
The University of Oregon’s women’s basketball
team hosts UCLA at 8 pm Jan. 28, then USC at noon
Jan. 30. Both games are at Matthew Knight Arena and
are televised on the Pac-12 Network. The Oregon men’s
team hosts Oregon State 7 pm Jan. 29 at Matthew
Knight Arena, or you can watch it on ESPN2. Tickets
for each game are at GoDucks.com. — Dan Buckwalter
