Momentum is sometimes a funny thing. Entering this week, Oregon is ranked as a top ten team, but they will be able to show that they are in fact worthy of the ranking vs Arizona at home. Matthew Knight Arena has seen some solid crowds for Oregon so far this season with the most anticipated game vs Houston putting close to 9500 in the seats in the non-conference slate.
Arizona is a different animal altogether. Oregon and Arizona have battled back and forth over the last ten years for supremacy in the Pac-12 Basketball World and that fight continues this week with the Wildcats in town.
