Last season, the Oregon Ducks went far enough to host the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament and they will look to do it again this season. The Preseason Accolades started with the announcement of the Pac-12 Coaches choice for the team to win the Conference. The winner was Oregon. Of course, each coach has one vote, and they cannot vote for their own team. It was the first time in Program History that the Ducks were given the honor.
Over the last seasons, it has typically been the Stanford Cardinal who took the honor. They came in second.
