No. 6 Arizona MBB returns home to face Oregon and close out its regular season
The No. 6 Arizona men’s basketball team makes its way back home this week to host the University of Oregon on Saturday, March 2, at noon in McKale Center. Arizona (22-6, 13-4 in Pac-12) picked up a rivalry win, completing the season sweep against ASU on Feb. 28, where the Wildcats defeated the Sun Devils in a 85-67 victory. The Wildcats will look to end its regular season in the win column against the Ducks and pick up their third consecutive win.
History vs. Oregon
The most recent matchup between Arizona and Oregon was on Jan. 27, where Arizona visited Oregon and won 87-78 in Matthew Knight Arena as Caleb Love scored a career-high 36 points that night. The Wildcats lost their very first meeting against the Ducks in 1979 with a score of 63-60 but Arizona currently leads the all-time series record at 54-36. However, Arizona is 3-7 in the past 10 encounters when facing Oregon with this Saturday being the 91st game between the two programs.
Oregon players to watch
The Ducks are led by head coach Dana Altman who achieved his 750th career win as Oregon comes off a 78-71 victory over Oregon State University on Feb. 28, in Matthew Knight Arena. Earning this win, Oregon has swept the season series against the Beavers as five Ducks scored double figures. Oregon has won three of its last five matches accumulating a season record of 19-9 overall so far but the Ducks are notably 12-2 when at home.
Center N’Faly Dante continues to improve as the Ducks leading scorer, averaging 14.8 ppg, 1.4 assists and 1.8 blocks. Dante has also grown his field goal percentage to 63.4% while additionally leading the team in rebounding, averaging 8.4 rebounds per game and picking up seven rebounds against Oregon State to add onto 11 points. The senior has collected nine turnovers in his past two games, as ball handling may look to be a priority.
Kwame Evans Jr. led Oregon to victory against Oregon State with 22 points and nine rebounds alongside three steals and one block. The forward also got to line on multiple occasions, going 9-12 on free throws against the Beavers. The six-foot-nine freshman ranks second on the team in rebounding, averaging 5.2 rebounds. Evans is also averaging 8.1 ppg and 1.2 assists.
Freshman Jackson Shelstad has already started making his impact, becoming the Ducks third leading scorer, averaging 12.2 ppg, 2.9 assists and 2.8 rebounds a game. Shelstad piled on 11 points, three assists and four rebounds in the victory against Oregon State. The guard has a season-high of eight assists collected in a matchup against California Baptist University, catapulting the Ducks to the 76-55 victory.
Arizona players to watch
Kylan Boswell was the leading scorer in the victory Arizona claimed over ASU, scoring 17 points on 7-9 of his shots for the night. Additionally, Boswell was 3-4 from beyond the arc and grabbed two rebounds as well as two assists in the same night. The guard averages 10.1 ppg, 2.4 rebounds and adds on 1.3 steals per game. Boswell remains the category leader for assists, averaging 3.6 assists per game.
Oumar Ballo has been a consistent force on the floor when it comes to offense and defense, as Ballo claimed his eighth consecutive double-double of the season, scoring 14 points and 13 rebounds against ASU. The seven-foot center was perfect on his shooting ability for the night, going 6-6 on field goals, continuing to average a double-double consisting of 13.2 ppg and 10.1 rebounds while also contributing one block per game. Ballo’s free throw percentage has grown tremendously as well, as he now shoots 63% from the line compared to the 43.5% the senior was shooting in January.
Love was one of the five Arizona players that scored in double figures over the Sun Devils as the former Tar Heel from the University of North Carolina capped off the evening with 16 points, five assists and eight rebounds. The senior guard remains the leading scorer for the Wildcats, putting up a stat line of 19.3 ppg, 3.4 assists and 5.1 rebounds while also adding on 1.2 steals per game.

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.
