The Oregon Ducks tip off a new era on Monday night as the college basketball season gets underway. Dana Altman won't be leading the Ducks out of the locker room for the first time in nearly two decades as his surprise retirement starts a transition year for the Ducks. Oregon Basketball named assistant Tony Stubblefield the head coach, and the Ducks will be looking to bounce back following the worst season of the Altman era.

After going 1-2 during exhibition season, but showing growth and improvement along the way, Oregon will look to get off to a strong start to the season. Entering Eugene for the season opener are the Montana Grizzlies in a game the Ducks should be able to win.

Injuries

Given that this is the opening game of the season for both teams, there isn't much injury news to track. While it's not injury related, the status of transfer Malique Ewin will be worth following as he missed the first two exhibition games of the offseason awaiting an eligibility ruling, so his status may be limited to start the season.

Series History

The Oregon Ducks enter Monday Night's matchup with an 8-1 record over the Grizzlies with a 5 game winning streak. The Ducks have a 6-1 record against Montana in home games with the last 6 matchups taking place in Eugene.

Reflecting on last season

Last season, the Oregon Ducks had the worst season of the Dana Altman era, finishing just 12-20 with a 5-15 record in Big Ten play. Tony Stubblefield takes over as head coach, and will hope for a better season than his tenures at New Mexico State and DePaul, where he compiled a 30-66 record as head coach. Travis DeCuire enters year 14 leading the Grizzlies, coming off a down season at 18-16.
