Fun Fact of the Day
Since today is the first day of college basketball I think it is appropriate to remember that little brother hasn't gone to the tournament since 1990. During the same time frame the Ducks have made eight NCAA Tournament appearances. As I complete this Quack Fix, I still live in a world where the Beavers have never participated in the NCAA Tournament.
