Posted March 8Mar 8 There is a very important game tonight with Illinois vs. Purdue. The game is at 5 pm on the FOX network. If Purdue wins and the Ducks beat the Huskies, Oregon would have the 7th seed and would play the #10 vs. #15 winner in the Big Ten tournament. If Illinois wins, Oregon ends up with the #8 seed and would play the winner of the Indiana/Ohio State game. Earlier this year, Indiana won at Ohio State 77-76 in overtime. Oregon beat Indiana 73-64 in Eugene and the Ducks beat Ohio State in Columbus 73-71. If Oregon faces Indiana, it will be like a home game for the Hoosiers. Bloomington is only 56 miles away from Indianapolis. If the Ducks don't get that 7th seed, I'd rather see us play Ohio State again.

"Home" was a factor in the Indiana vs Oregon women's game, and Indiana then trailed USC by 1 today at the end of the third quarter before USC pulled it out.
March 8Mar 8 Moderator So, the Ducks play the team they just beat at home, at a "Neutral" court this time, then if they beat Indiana, get No.1, Michigan State. Another "Opportunity"
March 8Mar 8 Not men's basketball news, but BYU has terminated women's head coach Amber Whiting. Amber's daughter Amari was an Oregon commit (2023 class) who flipped to BYU after her mother was hired as head coach. She was a Player of the Year in Idaho when she committed to Oregon. She still has eligibility remaining at BYU where she started all 30 games this season. May be interesting to see if she sticks it out at BYU or transfers. If her mom is hired as an assistant somewhere, maybe...
March 8Mar 8 And, a pretty quick update. BYU's Amari Whiting intends to enter transfer portal - On3 WWW.ON3.COM BYU sophomore Amari Whiting intends to enter the transfer portal, she told On3.
March 8Mar 8 Looks like it will be Indiana. A bit of home cooking in the foul calls in Bloomington today in their win over Ohio State. So, Ducks men will join Ducks women in playing Indiana in Indianapolis.
