Oregon vs UCLA carries important NCAA Tournament stakes for both Ducks and Bruins
The Oregon Duck men's basketball team has a chance to change its postseason outlook with a clash in the Pac-12 Tournament Semifinals. It's a game that's drawing some national attention that could have big implications for next week's NCAA Tournament.
"I am going to go to the Pac-12. Oregon a fringe bubble team getting a shot at UCLA, which is trying to reprove itself with Jaylen Clark out now that they can be a No. 1 seed type of team," CBSSports Jerry Palm said when asked about big games being played on Friday he's paying attention to.
The Ducks and Bruins both have a lot on the line. For UCLA the Bruins are in contention for a No. 1 seed in the tournament and are also trying to lock up the top seed out west for programs located in the region. Palm believes the Bruins need to win the Pac-12 Tournament to likely claim a No. 1 seed.
"For Oregon, they are trying to play their way up and into the bracket from way deep a couple of weeks ago," said Palm. "With all these teams falling up, they are still playing. This is a big opportunity for the Oregon Ducks."
