While the Oregon men look to build upon their in-conference momentum against the Ohio State Buckeyes, the Duck women will fly east to take on the Penn State Nittany Lions in a Big Ten matchup of their own.
The Oregon women's basketball team is coming off of a two-game winning streak in conference play (against Northwestern and Wisconsin) and is looking to improve its Big Ten record to 3-2 during its first season in the conference.
Meanwhile, the Nittany Lions have fallen to an abysmal 0-4 in conference play and hold a 9-6 overall record, while the Ducks currently lay claim to an 11-4 overall record.
