Pac-12

The Pac-12 has announced its 2020 football schedule, which features a seven-game Conference-only lineup commencing Saturday, November 7 and culminating the weekend of December 18-19 with the Pac-12 Football Championship Game.

The University of Oregon men’s and women’s basketball teams are preparing for their abbreviated seasons, after the Pac-12 announced last week that games will be played this fall and winter. Schedules are still being finalized, but this season will be shorter for both teams, and brings complications from the coronavirus pandemic.

In advance of full practices beginning in mid-October, coaches say players are adhering to strict COVID-19 protocols. 

After an August announcement that fall and winter sports would not be played until 2021 because of coronavirus concerns, the Pac-12 CEO Group announced Thursday that the conference will resume its football, basketball, and winter sports seasons in the coming weeks.

On Thursday, the NCAA announced plans to cancel the Division I men’s and women’s 2020 basketball tournaments, known as March Madness. This, a day after the organization released a statement indicating the games would go on, but without fans in attendance.

In a statement, the NCAA indicated the decision was “based on the evolving COVID-19 public health threat.” They added the move is meant to “ensure the events do not contribute to spread of the pandemic.”

Oregon women’s basketball won their second Pac-12 Tournament title in the last three years, rolling past Stanford in the championship game in Las Vegas on Sunday. The Ducks' 89-56 victory was their 19th straight win.

It’s on to the Pac-12 Championship game for Oregon Women’s basketball after their semi-final win over Arizona on Saturday in Las Vegas.

The top-seeded Oregon Women’s Basketball team is set to face No. 8 Utah on Friday in the Pac-12 tournament in Las Vegas. The Ducks are coming off victories at home last weekend where they won the regular season championship for a third year in a row.

No. 3 Oregon clinched their third straight outright Pac-12 championship on Friday night with their 88-57 win over Washington State in front of a sellout crowd at Matthew Knight Arena.

Ruthy Hebard had 28 points and 14 rebounds for her 15th double-double, and the 54th of her career. Satou Sabally added 22 for the Ducks before she left the game in the 3rd quarter with an apparent ankle injury.

No. 9 Oregon State fell in overtime, 65-58, to No. 12 Arizona in Corvallis on Sunday. The Beavers' Mikayla Pivec had 15 points and 11 rebounds in the loss.

It was another full house at sold out Matthew Knight Arena on Sunday, and another Duck win as No. 3 Oregon defeated No.19 Arizona State, 79-48, in front of 12,364 fans. 

Sabrina Ionescu earned her 24th career triple-double Friday night as No. 3 Oregon dominated No. 12 Arizona at Matthew Knight Arena. Ionescu had 15 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists, extending her lead as the all-time triple-double leader in NCAA history in the 85-52 win.

It was all Ducks on Monday night in what was billed to be one of their toughest battles so far this season. Ruthy Hebard had 22 points and 12 rebounds to help No. 3 Oregon beat fourth-ranked Connecticut 74-56, handing the Huskies their first loss on campus in seven years.

It might be considered a rivalry, but the Civil War series between the Oregon and Oregon State women’s basketball teams is a celebration of Oregon as a whole. That was part of the message from Ducks coach Kelly Graves after his team topped the Beavers 76-64 on Friday night in a sold-out Matthew Knight Arena.

In a highly anticipated match up, No. 4 Oregon topped No. 7 Oregon State 76-64 Friday night in the first of two Civil War games to be played in less than 48 hours.

The Oregon Ducks are hoping to start the next decade with a Rose Bowl title.

In a rematch of the 2012 Rose Bowl, No. 6 Oregon (11-2) will meet No. 8 Wisconsin (10-3) in the 106th Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day.

This will be the eighth appearance in the Rose Bowl for the 2019 Pac-12 champion Ducks. Oregon won its last two match-ups in the "Granddaddy of them all", beating Florida State in2015 and Wisconsin in 2012. The Ducks are 3-4 all-time in the Rose Bowl.

In a rematch of the 2012 Rose Bowl, No. 6 Oregon will meet No. 8 Wisconsin in the 106th Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Ca., on New Year’s Day.

No. 13 Oregon claimed the Pac-12 Championship title Friday night with their 37-15 upset win over No. 5 Utah at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Ca.

The Ducks were on top from the start, scoring on their first drive and leading 20-0 at the half. Utah made a push in the third quarter, scoring 15 points, but Oregon held them at that score for the remainder of the game. Oregon’s CJ Verdell ran for 208 yards and broke open the game with two long touchdown runs in the fourth quarter.

University of Oregon football ended up at No. 13 for the 2019 season, and on Friday they’ll play for the Pac-12 title.

Oregon came out on top in Saturday’s 123rd Civil War football game, beating Oregon State 24-10.

The No. 14 Ducks wrapped up the regular season with a perfect record at home for the eighth time.

Senior Quarterback and Eugene native Justin Herbert threw for 174 yards and a touchdown in his final game at Autzen Stadium.

Oregon State’s loss meant the Beavers were denied a bid for bowl eligibility in coach Jonathan Smith’s second year. OSU hasn’t made a postseason appearance since 2013.

Both the Ducks and Beavers scored big time on Saturday with overwhelming victories in Pac-12 action.

Oregon prevailed in a narrow win Saturday night against Washington State (4-4) at a sold out Autzen stadium.

The Cougars scored a touchdown to take a 1-point lead with only a minute left in the game, but a strong offensive drive down the field allowed Oregon’s freshman Camden Lewis to kick a 26-yard field goal as the clocked expired to take the 37-35 win. The victory moved the Ducks to 7-1 on the season and snapped a four game losing streak to the Cougars.

Oregon’s CJ Verdell ran for a career-high 257 yards and three touchdowns for the Ducks.
