Oregon Women’s Basketball: Ducks To Host UConn, Michigan State and Oklahoma
Phil Knight will celebrate his 80th Birthday this fall and while the Oregon Men’s Basketball team will be a part of history in Portland, the Oregon Women will host some big name teams in Eugene.
On Wednesday it was announced that Mathew Knight Arena will host a doubleheader featuring the Oregon Ducks and Oklahoma facing off. The other matchup will feature Top Ranked UConn meeting up with Michigan State. The Oregon Ducks met Michigan State earlier this season for one of their best non-conference wins.
UConn this season is taking down the competition with authority and shattering records as they go. The Huskies led by Geno Auriemma have won 94 straight games following the defeat of Eastern Carolina on Tuesday night. They have been pegged as a number one seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament with over a month to go in the regular season.
