The Oregon Ducks begin a vital road swing in Los Angeles tonight against the USC Trojans. Tipoff starts at 6: 00 p.m. PST with a telecast on ESPN2.
Here is a link to the game preview of tonight's matchup.
Pac-12 and NCAA Tournament implications are on the line for the Ducks. Oregon is not projected to make the tournament and need a strong finish to conclude the regular season.
The Ducks need to secure a first-round bye in the Pac-12 Tournament to stand a chance. For now, the focus is on beating the Trojans before facing the Bruins.
Troy Brown and Kenny Wooten had terrific performances against the Washington schools and hopefully can bring it on the road.
In Eugene, the Ducks could not hold on to late leads as the Trojans found a way to prevail. Coach Altman hopes his Ducks will play with a sense of urgency throughout the contest.
The game thread is now open. Please be respectful.
Go Ducks!
