Oregon women's basketball's record against every current Big Ten team
By Sam Fariss
The loss of the Pac-12 is sad. The loss of the conference in regards to women’s basketball is heartbreaking.
Boasting some of the most historic WBB programs in the nation – Stanford, USC, Oregon – the Pac-12 has had an incredible run.
As Oregon heads to the Big Ten, the team will still have to face some tough opponents throughout their regular season. The Ducks have yet to play Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska, Penn State, Purdue, and Rutgers.
However, Oregon has a 7-5 record overall against the current Big Ten teams. Here are the head-to-head records for the Ducks and their future conference foes:
Illinois Fighting Illini
- Head-to-head: The series is tied 1-1
- Most recent matchup: Dec. 12, 2012 – Oregon lost 62-80
Maryland Terrapins

Currently in his tenth season with the Ducks, head coach Kelly Graves has a pretty good history when leading his team against Big Ten opponents.
He’ll have to raise the bar to turn some of those head-to-head records around but with Graves’ coaching prowess, I think he has it under control.
The Ducks will join the Big Ten conference for their 2024-25 season. The schedule for next year has yet to be released. Graves will be in his 11th year with Oregon.
