— The Oregon women’s basketball season came crashing to an end Thursday. After losing Jillian Alleyne to an ACL injury just over a week earlier, the Ducks lost their third consecutive game — this time in a 74-68 loss to Arizona in the first round of the Pac-12 tournament. 
Oregon may receive a WNIT bid, which is a tournament that invites the most qualified teams not in the NCAA Tournament. And the prospect is  appealing to coaches and players.
“Speaking for myself, I would love to continue to play (in the WNIT),” Lexi Petersen said. “I’ve had such a good time and long run at Oregon. I just want to finish on a good note.”
— On the other hand, Oregon men’s basketball clinched at least a share of the Pac-12 regular season title for the first time since 2002 Wednesday. The Ducks clinched it following a 76-68 win at UCLA. Oregon will play USC Saturday, and a win there would give them the conference title outright.
— Oregon baseball’s pitchers are living up to their potential through the first two weekends of the 2016 season. The weekend rotation of Cole Irvin, Matt Krook and David Petersen has a collective 1.42 ERA in 38 innings pitched. They’ll square up against a UC Santa Barbara offense with a batting average of .341 this weekend, though. 
“I think it’s a small sample of what offensive team they’re going to be,” Oregon head coach George Horton said. “But they’re sure scoring a lot of runs.”
First pitch in the three-game series is Friday at 3 p.m.
— Oregon softball is on the road again and will be competing in its fourth tournament of the season this weekend in Las Vegas. Ducks are 12-4 this season.
— Aaron Wise was named the Pac-12 men’s golfer of the month Wednesday. Wise shot an average round score of 69.67 for Oregon in Febraury, which included a first place individual finish at the Amer Ari Invitational on Feb. 6.
—Former Oregon defensive end Deforest Buckner continues to see his draft stock soar. After the NFL Combine this past weekend, Buckner has been projected to go as high as No. 3 in the upcoming 2016 draft. 
— Oregon men’s basketball clinched at least a share of the Pac-12 regular season title Wednesday. The Oregonian looked back at the Ducks’ previous conference winners, going back as far as the 1918-19 team, which won the Pacific Coast Conference Title.
