Oregon Ducks

Sunday, November 24th. Eugene, Oregon.

Last Season: 28-9 (12-6 Pac-12)

The Dons will travel to Oregon for their first guarantee game since Louisville in 2010. The Green & Gold have never played in the newly renovated Matthew Knight Arena, but now have played Pac-12 opponents for the past two straight years. Oregon is fresh off a Sweet Sixteen appearance in the 2013 NCAA Tournament.

The Ducks begin the year in South Korea as they face off against Georgetown in the Armed Forces Challenge. The Dons arrive in late November as the Ducks’ third home contest. Oregon will see USF as their last tune-up before its own tournament kicks off November 29th. After the Dons leave Eugene, the Ducks will host the Global Sports Challenge which involves three opponents that reached the postseason.
