While the Oregon men’s basketball team awaits a likely NIT birth following their collapse against USC in the Pac 12 Tournament semifinals, the Oregon women’s team sits comfortably back waiting on a definite NCAA Tournament berth and, possibly, a first for the ladies; a 1 seed.
While this is far from a guarantee it’s also not out of the realm of possibility and quite frankly the women of Oregon have a resume worthy of consideration. The juggernaut UConn Huskies have, as usual, locked down the top spot in the land with yet another undefeated regular season. The Baylor women are nipping at their heels, coming off their Big 12 regular season and conference tournament titles.
