LAS VEGAS — Turns out, the Oregon men's basketball team travelled nearly a thousand miles to play a Pac-12 Tournament game against the team from just up the road.
The No. 13 Ducks will open the conference tournament against their Civil War rivals from Oregon State on Thursday (noon PT, Pac-12 Network). The eighth-seeded Beavers beat ninth-seeded Utah with a buzzer-beating three-pointer in the opening round Wednesday, and advanced to face No. 1 seed Oregon in the quarterfinals.
Oregon and OSU split their regular-season series, each winning at home. The Ducks lost in Corvallis on Feb.
