A week after receiving a rude awakening in their Pac-12 opener, the UO men's basketball team returns home Thursday to face another conference foe looking to give the Ducks some nightmares.
The No. 9 Oregon men will host No. 24 Arizona in Matthew Knight Arena on Thursday (6 p.m., ESPN). The Wildcats opened conference play with a rivalry win over ASU, while the Ducks are 1-1 after another frustrating result in Colorado, although one followed by a bounceback win at Utah.
By the time Oregon and Arizona take the floor Thursday, it will be nearly two full calendar years since the Wildcats' last win over the Ducks, on Jan.
