The Oregon men’s basketball team (21-8, 9-8 in Pac-12) hosts the Arizona Wildcats (28-2, 15-2 in Pac-12) at Matthew Knight Arena on March 8. The Ducks are looking for revenge as they enter into their final regular season home game with a six-game winning streak. Last month, Oregon led a tough battle against the Arizona Wildcats in Tucson, Ariz., during their first game of the regular season. The Ducks led late into the game, but Wildcat T.J. McConnell made a late three-pointer that put the Wildcats up 62-60. The Wildcats would win that game 67-65. With a win tonight, the Ducks could all but assure itself an NCAA Tournament berth.
The Ducks will be playing in the Pac-12 Men’s Basketball Tournament at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nev., next week.
