No. 6 Arizona Basketball faces Oregon in Pac-12 Semifinal's
LAS VEGAS, NV – After getting its revenge against USC, No. 6 Arizona Basketball (25-7, 15-5) takes on Oregon (21-11, 12-8) in the Pac-12 Conference Semifinals.
Win and advance! That is the mantra come March, and for No. 6 Arizona Basketball, that is certainly the case as the Wildcats quickly disbanded the Trojans in a rematch game on Thursday afternoon to advance in the last-ever Pac-12 Conference Tournament.
Returning to action inside the Arizona-friendly T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the Wildcats return to action for the Semifinal round of the Pac-12 Conference Tournament.
Coming in, they will face a talented Oregon team once again, and while the Wildcats had seemingly no problems in running the Ducks out of the gym a couple of weeks ago, this is a bit of a must-win game against Arizona if they hope to make the NCAA Tournament. It is also a great opportunity for Oregon to improve its postseason resume.
The Ducks have the talent and coaching to win, and if Arizona is to get a win here and advance, it is going to take another focused and concerted effort. Hopefully, we will see our Wildcats come out ready to go in this one!
Team: Oregon Ducks
Conference: Pac-12 Conference
Current Record: 21–11 (12–8)
Head Coach: Dana Altman. Now in his 35th season as a head coach (14th with Oregon), Coach Altman has put together a fantastic career and is currently 342–151 (167–91) with the Ducks with seven NCAA Tournament appearances, three Sweet 16 Finishes, two Elite Eight appearances, and a Final Four run in 2016-17.
Before arriving in Eugene, Dana was head coach at Marshall (1989-90), Kansas State (1990-94), and Creighton (1994-2010). Overall, he is 752–394 as a head coach with several postseason tournament bids.
2022-23 Record: Finishing the 2022-23 season with a 21–15 (12–8) record, the Ducks ended their year finishing in 4th in the Pac-12 and just narrowly missed the NCAA Tournament. Oregon would go to the NIT where they were eliminated by Wisconsin in the quarterfinals.

Overall Series Record: 55-36 Arizona. Overall, this is a series that the Wildcats lead in; however, Oregon has done well as of late as the Ducks have won 11 of the last 17 matchups.
Last Meeting: Meeting in Tucson just a couple of weeks ago, then No. 6 Arizona came away with the dominant win, beating the visiting Ducks by a 103-83 final on Senior Day!
Arizona looked sharp on Thursday afternoon, and despite a bit of a sluggish start in the first half, the Wildcats used a stifling defensive effort en route to the 21-point win over the Trojans!
However, that is all in the past and the focus is now on Oregon and the Semifinal round of the NCAA Tournament!
Coming in, the Wildcats will need another sharp defensive effort as the Ducks are a talented offensive group, averaging 75.8 points per game and shooting a respectable 45.9 percent from the field, including 34.7 percent from three.
Largely led by senior guard Jermaine Couisnard, the Indiana native is averaging 15.5 points per game, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.8 assists. Couisnard scored a season-high 39 points against the Wildcats the last time these two teams met.
Additionally, Oregon big man N’Faly Dante has posed to be quite a problem for the Cats this year, averaging 15.4 points and 8.9 rebounds per game.
Beyond them, highly-touted freshman Jackson Shelstad has been impressive, averaging 12.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game, meanwhile, Nathan Bittle and former Arizona recruiting target, Kwame Evans Jr. have been solid, complimentary pieces as well.
Overall, this team has a lot of talent and athleticism, and defensively Arizona will need another strong defensive showing if they hope to slow this Oregon offense down.
Hopefully, the Wildcats will be ready to go in this one, as we should be in store for a competitive game! Tip-off for Friday’s game against the Ducks is set for 5:00 P.M. Tucson time, and the game will be broadcast on Pac-12 Network.

Entering the 2026 college football season, the Oregon Ducks are looking to not only win their first national championship in program history but also their second Big Ten title in the last three seasons.
When the Ducks joined the Big Ten in 2024, they kicked off their inaugural season in the conference in style, finishing the regular season undefeated at 13-0. This regular season was concluded with a thrilling 45-37 win over the Penn State Nittany Lions in the Big Ten championship game.

The Ohio State Buckeyes, however, got revenge for their loss to the Ducks at Autzen Stadium earlier in the regular season, beating Oregon 41-21 in the CFP Quarterfinal at the Rose Bowl. Entering the 2026 season, here’s a look at the Ducks’ chances of winning the Big Ten for the second time.
Oregon Ducks Big Ten Title Odds: Who’s The Biggest Threat?
According to the latest betting odds by FanDuel Sportsbook, the Ducks have +270 odds to win the Big Ten championship this season. The one team ahead of them is the Ohio State Buckeyes at +190, who, believe it or not, are in search of their first Big Ten title since 2020. The Buckeyes were upset by the Indiana Hoosiers 13-10 in the Big Ten championship last season.
Among the top teams in the Big Ten next season, Ohio State poses the biggest threat to the Ducks’ chances of not only winning a conference title but also the national championship. The Buckeyes and Ducks will face off in what could be the game of the year in Columbus on Nov. 7.
As exciting as this matchup will be for college football fans, it likely won’t be the only one between the Buckeyes and Ducks. Regardless of which team wins the Nov. 7 showdown in Columbus, the Buckeyes and Ducks could match up again in the Big Ten title game and in the CFP.
Other Teams That Pose a Threat to Oregon
While the Buckeyes are the main threat to the Ducks’ Big Ten title aspirations, other teams will be worth watching. One of those teams is the defending national champions, the Indiana Hoosiers.
Despite the key losses this offseason, which include Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza, coach Curt Cignetti’s Hoosiers restocked talent with the addition of TCU Horned Frogs transfer quarterback Josh Hoover and Michigan State Spartans wide receiver Nick Marsh.
The only two losses that the Ducks suffered last season came against the Hoosiers. If the two face off in the Big Ten championship, Indiana looks to continue its dominance over the Ducks. The Hoosiers and Ducks don’t play each other during the regular season.
The USC Trojans, whom the Ducks will face at the Los Angeles Coliseum on Sept. 26, also look to knock off Oregon in what should be one of the top games of the first month of the college football season. Oregon coach Dan Lanning is undefeated 2-0 against USC’s Lincoln Riley and looks to extend the Ducks’ winning streak against the Trojans to five games.

DESCHUTES COUNTY, Ore. — Oregon State Police are asking for additional witnesses to come forward after a three-vehicle crash on Highway 20E in Deschutes County left two people seriously injured.
Troopers responded at 12:47 p.m. Friday, July 10, to the crash near milepost 41. A preliminary investigation found a westbound 2013 black Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck pulling a single-axle utility trailer attempted to pass a black Dodge 4500 towing a trailer. Police said an eastbound Hyundai Elantra tried to avoid a collision with the Chevrolet, lost control in the gravel on the eastbound shoulder, veered into the westbound lane and collided with the trailer pulled by the Dodge 4500.
The driver and passenger of the Hyundai were flown by air medic to a local hospital with serious injuries.
The crash affected traffic for about five hours. The driver of the Chevrolet was cited for careless driving and unsafe passing.
OSP is asking anyone who may have seen the Chevrolet driving westbound on Highway 20 at the moment of, or prior to, the collision to contact the OSP Northern Command Center dispatch at 800-442-0776 or *OSP (*677) from a mobile phone. Callers should reference case number SP26-255130.
