Oregon Ducks News: Sabrina's love shack, Ducks at the Field of Dreams, Cantwell rocks the O?

No. 20: Can you feel the love in Mat Knight?

Sabrina Ionescu and the World Champion New York Liberty came to Eugene for an exhibition game with the Toyota Antelopes of the Japanese pro league, featuring a packed house, a tribute and a celebration of the favorite daughter of Oregon sports.

The Liberty won 84-61 as Ionescu poured in 25 points, hitting 6-9 from three point range including a three pointer from the logo and a curtain call in the fourth quarter.

Duck teammate Nyara Sabally also plays for the champs. She started and logged 18 minutes, chipping in seven points, six rebounds an assist and a steal, good for +15 on the scoresheet.

When it was over, Ionescu signed the Antelope players' shoes. They were wearing custom Sabrinas.

It's been a tremendous year for Oregon baseball,

No. 1: What's love got to do with it?

An earth-mover with 158 pancakes, All-American left tackle, Hayward Field high school shot put record holder and No. 1 2026 football recruiting prospect Jackson Cantwell decides today at 11:45 p.m. PDT on a YouTube channel created especially for the announcement.

The Oregon target, a prodigiously strong 6-8, 320 with long arms and an athletic build, confessed two months ago that Dan Lanning was his favorite head coach among those who were recruiting him, but his agent is Drew Rosenhaus.

In February Cantwell said to On3's Steve Wiitfong, “I think my favorite head coach still to this day has been Dan Lanning. I think everyone can understand. Great guy. Missouri guy."

The Cantwell family has conducted a careful study of the 4.0 student's options, and it's looking like Georgia is winning out with a late push from Miami and a pre-commitment visit from the Oregon coaches.
