A HUGE BREAK! UCLA LOSES!!

A HUGE BREAK! UCLA LOSES!!

A door opens wide for the Oregon mens basketball team! Washington State upset the Bruins last night 73-61 in Pullman as Brock Motum had a monster game, and gave Oregon the opportunity to win the conference crown! Stanford beat Cal 83-70 last evening to put the Bears out of serious contention for the championship and set the table for the Ducks! Let’s look at the standings:

Oregon 12-4

UCLA 12-5

Arizona 11-6

Colorado 9-7

It becomes clear that if Oregon wins both their games they are the sole conference champion of the regular season, and if they split and UCLA beats Washington then Oregon would be tied with the Bruins. Since the tie-breaker is head-to-head and the Ducks beat UCLA in Pauley earlier this season, Oregon would be champs! We want the clear-cut championship! Let’s go Ducks!

Please note that we are not celebrating another team losing, but pointing out the opportunity for our beloved Ducks. Oh these are big games tonight and Saturday!

John BeltranJohn Beltran is the embodiment of your typical Oregonian. He believes Birkenstocks and wool socks go together like organic peas and carrots, prefers a little bit of rain in his coffee, and is a rabid fan of Oregon Duck sports. Having ran Track and Cross Country during his high school days, John's first hand experience in football is limited, but by being a fan since as long as he can remember he has learned much of the nuances just by watching the game and the team he loves. As a proud graduate from the University of Oregon, majoring in history, John is glad to contribute his skills and knowledge to cover Oregon sports with FishDuck, and as always, Go Ducks!View all posts by John Beltran →
