No.12 Oregon Ducks (23-12)

Eugene, OR – Pac 12 Conference
Head coach: Dana Altman

The Oregon Ducks are one of the hottest teams in the nation. They had to win the Pac 12 Conference Tournament to get in the big dance. Four games in four days were nothing for the Ducks.

Best win

Oregon played Washington three times, winning two of the matchups. None bigger with the season on the line in the Pac 12 Championship Game.

The Ducks held Washington to 48 points on 5-for-23 from the three-point line. Pure domination.

Worst loss

The worst loss came against Oregon State on January 5th at home. While it was only a five-point loss, the Beavers finished the season with a record of 18-13.

Longest streak

The Ducks have won eight games in a row with two wins over Washington, Arizona State, and Washington State. Again, one of the hottest teams heading into the tournament and they at a No.12 seed? No.5-No.12 upset in the making?

What they do best

Oregon does a lot of stuff decent. The best thing they do is defend the three-point shot really well. They are only allowing opponents to shoot 29.4 percent from the deep. The Ducks also have a high block percentage at 14.5 which ranks 12th in the nation.
