To kick off the season on Nov. 6, Oregon plays Georgia at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, as part of the Hall of Fame Series. The 1:30 p.m. neutral-site matchup will be aired on truTV. The last matchup between these two teams was back in 1975 when the Ducks defeated the Bulldogs 87-74.

The last time Oregon made it to the NCAA tournament was in 2021 where the team had a strong run up until the Sweet Sixteen. Oregon fans will wait to see if head coach Dana Altman can make some magic happen out of this strong schedule and showcase some talent from this team.
Action in MKA commences on Nov. 10 against Montana at 6 p.m. and continues against Tennessee State the following week. Over Thanksgiving break, Oregon flies down to Florida to play Florida A&M and compete in the Emerald Coast Classic.

Oregon will welcome Cal for one game on Jan. 13 before beginning a midwest road trip to face Colorado and Utah in mid-January.
