– In Oregon men’s basketball, No. 2 Oregon beat No. 10 Colorado 93-85 in the quarterfinals of the Pac-12 Tournament. Colorado had an explosive beginning and end of the game, but their 13 turnovers translated into 27 points for Ducks, eventually costing the Buffaloes the game. Oregon will advance to the semifinal round and play No. 3 Utah later today.
– No. 1 Oregon Acrobatics and Tumbling was briefly reunited with former head coach Felecia Mulkey yesterday night in their match against undefeated No. 2 Baylor. Oregon was barely edged out of a win by the team headed by their previous coach, 279.770 – 278.825. Despite the loss being the first home loss in program history, the girls were glad the win came down to the team routine since Oregon typically lacks evenly-matched competition.
– Pro Day took place at the Moshofsky Center Thursday, reuniting current and former Ducks football players. The day was another chance for players to showcase skills for the NFL scouts in lieu of the looming April 30 NFL Draft. Some Ducks in attendance were: Marcus Mariota, Hroniss Grasu, Erick Dargan, Tony Washington, Keanon Lowe, Derrick Malone, Kenny Bassett, Dior Mathis, Jake Fisher, and Lavasier Tuinei. Photos of the event can be seen here.
– Oregon baseball was swept 4-1, 8-2 at home in their two-game series against San Fransisco. In both games the Ducks only managed three hits against the Dons. The series was the first time that San Fransisco right fielder Connor Hofmann returned to PK Park after leaving Oregon last season, an experience he discussed in a Q&A with Emerald sports reporter Andrew Bantly.
