As a senior with the Ducks, Moser averaged 13.2 points and 7.7 rebounds per game after transferring from UNLV. Moser is ranked as the No. 37 senior by draftexpress.com.
• The Oregon acrobatics & tumbling team has lost just three meets in the past five years, but yesterday they suffered undoubtedly their biggest loss ever when it was announced that head coach Felicia Mulkey was resigning and taking the head coaching job at Baylor. In an interview, Mulkey said a big reason why she took the job was to be closer to her family in Georgia. In Mulkey's five seasons with the Oregon, the Ducks went 43-3, winning four straight national championships.

• The MLB Draft begins today and there are a few Ducks to keep an eye on. Tyson Alger over at the Oregonian compiled a nice little list of who to watch for in this year's draft. Jake Reed looks to have the best odds as Alger expects reed to go somewhere in the top 10 rounds. Other Ducks who are draft eligible, including Shaun Chase, Scott Heineman and Tommy Thorpe could be picked up in the middle rounds. Last year, six Ducks were selected in the draft, the second most in school history.
