– Oregon football players Deforest Buckner, Royce Freeman and Aiden Schneider were named to the 2015 Associated Press All-America Team. Buckner was named to the second team, while Freeman and Schneider were named to the third team. Buckner and Freeman, as well as five other Ducks, were both named to the all-conference first teams following the Pac-12 regular season.
– Despite a late push, Oregon men’s basketball suffered its second loss of the season to Boise State 74-72. Boise State led by as much as 17 in the second half, but the Ducks found themselves in position to tie at the end of regulation. But Dillon Brooks’ contested layup when trailing by two was no good.
– Oregon women’s basketball improved to 8-0 after a 93-52 shellacking of Portland Saturday. The shot 68 percent from three-point range and Lexi Peterson led the team with 23 points.
– After Scott Frost’s departure to become the head coach at the University of Central Florida, plenty of speculation has revolved around the idea that wide receivers coach Matt Lubick would fill his position. Lubick spoke to reporters this weekend about the prospect of being the Ducks’ offensive coordinator.
– Vernon Adams Jr. obviously destroyed any doubt that he could play at a consistently high level at the FBS level this season. And now, he’s ready to start showing the NFL scouts that he’s capable of doing that on Sundays too. The graduate transfer told reporters this weekend he’s treating the Alamo Bowl as a job audition.
– Dual threat quarterback/athlete Tristen Wallace flipped his commitment from Ohio State to Oregon this weekend, according to Duck Territory. Wallace is ranked as the 28th-best prospect out of the state of Texas.
