Four years ago, we as Oregon fans experienced both our proudest moment and our most heartbreaking: a national championship lost on the last play of the game. At the time, as much as we wanted our beloved Ducks to break through against Auburn and win the title, it was still hard to even believe the amazing heights to which the Ducks …
Coming into the season, no one knew how our beloved Ducks’ basketball program would perform. Many questions, with no answers.
