4. Oregon Ducks (15-9, 6-5 Pac-12) LW: 8

To put it lightly, the Ducks have had a disappointing season as they currently sit at the middle of the pack with a record of 6-5 in conference play.

After being tabbed the preseason favorite in the Pac-12, the Ducks fell out of the gates early and have not stopped due to a barrage of injuries and poor play from key players.

Now, Oregon looks to close out the final stretch of conference play on a positive note, having won four of its last five games.

The four victories included the team’s best defensive performance to date, as they recently held the opposing Stanford Cardinal to 46 points.

Oregon was led by Kenny Wooten in the matchup, as he matched a career-high with seven blocks while Payton Pritchard held down the offensive end for the second straight game.

Pritchard has found his shooting stroke of late, as he enters this weekend’s matchup coming off two straight 20 point games, the first time he has accomplished the mark in his career.

Also helping on the offensive end is freshman Louis King, who has thrived since getting healthy. After sitting out the first seven games on the year due to an injury, King has averaged 15.6 points per game during Pac-12 play, the most by a freshman in the conference.

The Ducks will look to avenge an early season loss to their in-state rival as they head to Corvallis to face Oregon State on Saturday.
