Oregon has a chance to make a big statement this weekend in the race for the Pac-12 men's basketball title — if the Ducks can figure out how to do something almost nobody else has done well this year.
The No. 14 Ducks left Wednesday evening for Arizona, where they'll play at Arizona State on Thursday (6 p.m. PT, ESPN) and then at No. 24 Arizona on Saturday (6 p.m. PT, ESPN). Oregon entered the week tied for first in the Pac-12 with Colorado, a half-game ahead of ASU and Arizona and a full game up on USC and UCLA.
