Oregon Basketball has added a home game to the 2020 non-conference slate against the San Francisco Dons who already have a top-five upset from last month in their pocket.

San Francisco has been added to the abbreviated non-conference slate for Oregon Basketball. The Ducks are currently 4-1 on the season and have shown some early chemistry among some new faces on the court. Eugene Omoruyi has shown that sitting out a season last year due to transfer rules can pay off early.

Chris Duarte has picked up where he left off last season hitting better than 40 percent from beyond the arc and Eric Williams Jr has also shown he can shoot from distance hitting 42 percent from beyond the arc through the first five games this season. Head Coach Dana Altman has again found a way to get his team to play together.

San Francisco has faced several big challenges so far in 2020, and have come away with a big win over a ranked opponent. They went on a late 8-0 run to take care of Virginia on November 27th. It may have been the biggest win in the history of the program for the Dons. Jamaree Bouyea had 19 points in the victory and will be the one to watch on Thursday at Matthew Knight Arena.

USF comes into the game at 5-3 and lost to another Pac-12 team at the buzzer on Sunday, 72-70. The one area to watch with San Francisco is on defense. They found a way to hold Virginia to 3 of 12 shooting from three-point range while managing hitting 46 percent from the floor in their win last month.

Oregon Basketball has been trying to get a game in during this stretch of the season and found a way. The Ducks will play San Francisco and then face Cal on December 23rd in Pac-12 play.

Oregon and San Francisco tipoff on Thursday night at 5 pm Pacific Time. The game will be broadcast on the Pac-12 Network.
