After an eight-game winning streak, Oregon will get to remain close to home and face a Wisconsin Badgers team who they have not beaten in the NCAA Tournament. Dana Altman and the Ducks will face the Badgers for the third time in six seasons.
The Oregon Ducks earned a spot in the NCAA Tournament after beating four teams in the Pac-12 Tournament including Arizona State and Washington. The Huskies landed as a 10 seed on the NCAA Tournament for their season performance. One benefit the Committee gave to Oregon is a game on the West Coast. After playing in Las Vegas last week, a potential two games in San Jose California should help keep legs fresh.
