SAN JOSE, Calif. — About 350 miles separate the cities of Los Angeles and San Jose, the places where Oregon's men's basketball season reached its lowest depths and potentially its greatest heights.
On Sunday, the Ducks face UC Irvine in the SAP Pavilion (6:40 p.m, TBS), for a spot in the NCAA Tournament's Sweet Sixteen. The game will tip off one month and two days after the UO men hit the crossroads of their season, in a loss at USC on Feb. 21.
The Ducks scored just 49 points that day, their fewest in a Pac-12 game this season.
