After a long offseason full of roster moves, the Oregon Ducks men’s basketball team has finally taken final shape and is ready to start preparing for the new season in 2023-24. A second-straight frustrating season in 2022-23 has understandably left the roster looking much different than it did a year ago. A handful of players — Kel’el Ware, Rivaldo Soares, Quincy Guerrier, among others — entered the portal and left Eugene, while a group of others — Kario Oquendo, Devan Cambridge, Jadrian Tracey, and Jesse Zarzuela — opted to join Dana Altman and transfer to Oregon. The Ducks also have the...

SPRINGFIELD, Ore -- An event was held at Springfield's Island Park on Saturday to honor the victims of gun violence and to bring attention to the growing issue. The June 3 event was one of many "Wear Orange" events taking place across the country. The nationwide effort aims to honor those affected by gun violence and highlight prevention efforts. The color orange is worn because it's what hunters wear outside so other hunters won't mistake them for an animal and fire at them.

There has been a lot of roster turnover for the Oregon Ducks this offseason as head coach Dan Lanning continues to mix and match and find the right combination of players that fit his scheme going forward. Redshirt freshman linebacker Harrison Taggart is one of the players who left Eugene to enter the transfer portal, and on Saturday he announced that he would be ending up at BYU with the Cougars. As a Utah native from Draper, it makes sense that Taggart would want to play closer to home and join a system where he has a better chance at seeing more...

This month, we headed down to Eugene, Oregon for the 10th annual Foam Wonderland at the Cuthbert Amphitheater.

The Oregon Ducks are nothing if not interesting, to say the least. After ending the regular season on a high note by winning the Pac-12 Tournament championship, they got a bid into the Nashville Regional where the hot play has continued. On Friday night, Oregon beat Xavier in impressive fashion, and they picked up another massive victory on Saturday night against the host team Vanderbilt, surviving a two-run rally in the ninth inning to win 8-7. The Ducks are now in a prime position, needing just one win on Sunday night — against either Xavier or Vanderbilt — to get to advance to a Super Regional. Should the Ducks lose on Sunday night, they will have another opportunity to advance on Monday. With such a massive win, Duck fans on social media were exuberant on Saturday.
