Oregon opens December by hosting the Rainbow Warriors of Hawaii Saturday at 4 p.m. (Pac-12 Networks).
THE STARTING FIVE
• 1 – The game against Hawaii will be the first time in nearly a month that the Ducks won't be playing a team picked to finish first or second in their respective preseason poll. Saturday's contest ends a string of six consecutive games against teams that fit that description: Memphis (tie-1st, American Athletic), UT Arlington (2nd, Sun Belt), Houston (tie-1st, American Athletic), Seton Hall (1st, Big East), Gonzaga (1st, West Coast) and North Carolina (2nd, ACC).
