It’s time to bring on the Big Ten for the Oregon men’s basketball team.
THE Ducks“The 31-game schedule for the 2024-25 season was announced Thursday and it was hard not to notice the litany of new teams Oregon will face once non-conference play ends in late December.
The Ducks, who won the Pac-12 Tournament last season and played in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, open the season with four straight games at Matthew Knight Arena, starting Nov. 4 against UC Riverside.
Oregon’s first road game of the season will be Nov. 21 against Oregon State in Corvallis.
The Ducks will be in Las Vegas during Thanksgiving week as part of the Players Era Festival to face Texas A&M, San Diego State and Creighton, which ended Oregon’s season last March.
Conference play begins against former Pac-12 foes and Big Ten freshman teams Southern California (Dec. 4) on the road and at home against UCLA (Dec. 8).
The final two months are devoted to conference play, with the Ducks finishing with 18 straight games against Big Ten teams starting Jan. 2 against Illinois at home.
The Big Ten tournament will be held March 12-16 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
