Oregon Ducks Set to Play Alabama…in Basketball
In what many would have hoped would have been another sport, it was announced on Thursday that Oregon has signed a contract to play a Home and Home Series in Basketball with Alabama starting this season. The non-conference slate for both teams has not yet been announced for the 2015-16 season, but for any team looking to get a potential RPI jump this is a good move.
