The storylines to know for Oregon heading into the NIT Oregon was awarded a No. 1 seed in the tournament and will get to play at home for the first three rounds of the tournament should they win games. The NIT selection committee certainly raised a few eyebrows when they released Oregon's first-round opponent UC Irvine out of the Big West. The regular-season co-champion Anteaters are a very respectable program out west at the low-major level, and this season they made waves in college basketball during the first week of the season by blowout out the Oregon Ducks on Oregon's own home floor.

College Football Teams Having the Most Success on the 2024 Recruiting Trail While most of these teams are currently in the 247Sports composite's top 10, they all aren't. For instance, Texas Tech is currently ranked sixth nationally, but that's a little bit of fool's gold. The Red Raiders have just one 4-star prospect, and the rest are 3-stars. So, even though you're sick of hearing about Alabama, the Crimson Tide sneaked in over coach Joey McGuire's team because of quality over quantity.

Ducks drop game three in blowout fashion; lose first Pac-12 series to No. 16 UCLA Sunday marked an opportunity for Oregon to pick up an early-season series win against a ranked opponent in No. 16 UCLA. Instead, it was the Bruins who came out like the unranked team and never looked back, walloping the Ducks 16-0 and taking the final two games of the series with a combined score of 22-7. With freshman Jackson Pace getting the start, the game had a rather ominous beginning, as the first pitch was hammered to left-center field by Cody Scrier for a double. From there, Oregon’s winning outlook would continue to deteriorate as UCLA added four runs in the first inning. JonJon Vaughns, who’s been a thorn in Oregon’s side this series, lofted a fly ball to left where Tanner Smith severely misplayed the ball, allowing for a bases-clearing double with two outs. “That was a big play, wasn’t it?” said Wasikowski after the game. “Getting out of the first inning, giving up one run, and then missing a routine flyball and it turning into a big inning, it was a big deal. I thought we lost some counts and some other things, but at the end of the day, we didn’t prepare our club well to play today. And that’s our fault.” Ducks drop game three in blowout fashion; lose first Pac-12 series to No. 16 UCLA 247SPORTS.COM Sunday marked an opportunity for Oregon to pick up an early-season series win against a ranked opponent in No. 16...
