The Oregon Women’s Basketball team is also helping to celebrate Phil Knight’s 80th hosting Oklahoma, UConn and Michigan State that weekend.
The Oregon Women’s Basketball team has National Eyes now that they have made the Elite Eight for the first time ever. According to GoDucks.com, there could be a Football/Women’s Basketball doubleheader set for that Saturday if the timing is right.
