The Pac-12 Conference has announced the Men’s Basketball Weekly pairings for Conference play for the upcoming season and the Oregon Ducks again get lucky with just a single game against Arizona, again in the friendly confines of Matthew Knight Arena.
The schedule begins on the week of December 28th and Oregon will play host to both UCLA and USC to wrap up the holidays. They will then hit the road to visit the Washington Schools before returning home to MKA to meet Oregon State in the first Civil War scheduled in 2017. The Oregon State Beavers enter the matchup looking to replace Gary Payton II.
The Oregon Ducks will find themselves at home for a total of nine games throughout the Pac-12 slate, including the Civil War matchup in the second week. Oregon will be away the final two weeks of the regular season visiting the Cal and Stanford and a trip to Corvallis. The final five weeks will see Dana Altman’s team home just two weeks out of the final five.
Oregon returns four of the top five scorers from last season including Dillon Brooks and Tyler Dorsey. Dylan Ennis will also return after spending the majority of last season on the bench with a foot injury. He received word earlier this month that he was granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA.
