Oregon Ducks vs. VCU Rams Ruled No-Contest, Ducks Advance

It’s not every day you see a basketball game end 1-0, but that’s officially how the Oregon Ducks got past the VCU Rams in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament. The game was ruled No-Contest by NCAA officials due to COVID-19 protocols, and the Ducks were awarded a 1-0 victory.

The Rams had multiple positive COVD-19 tests, making it impossible for the NCAA to allow the game to go on. The first positive test was revealed on Monday, and two more were identified Friday night.

The Health and safety of the players is of the utmost concern.
