During last year's miracle run in the NCAA Tournament, 10th-seeded Oregon traveled across the country to face third-seeded Maryland in the Sweet 16. The Ducks continued their improbable run by dismantling the higher seed 77-63 before losing to UConn in the Elite Eight.
This year, No. 2 Oregon will look to do what Maryland couldn't, and that's knock off the upstart double-digit seed when it takes on No. 11 Central Michigan on Saturday.
"Last year, we were just there for the ride, enjoying it," Oregon coach Kelly Graves said. "A good team with nothing to lose is a dangerous team and they (Central Michigan) are very dangerous, no doubt about it.
