The Ducks earned another No. 2 seed into the NCAA Tournament and will host Portland State on Friday (6:15 p.m. PT, ESPN2).
The Oregon women's basketball team will host Portland State on Friday to open the NCAA Tournament, the NCAA announced Monday.
The Ducks (29-4) received a No. 2 seed for the second year in a row, and were placed in the regional to be hosted by Portland for the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight rounds. Matthew Knight Arena will also host a first-round game between No. 7 Texas and No. 10 Indiana, with the winner to play the Oregon-PSU winner on Sunday.
The Longhorns and Hoosiers will tip off Friday at 4 p.m. PT. The Ducks and Viks will play 30 minutes after the conclusion of that game, with both to be televised by ESPN2.
All-session tickets (good for all three games) are available at goducks.com/wbbtix. Single-game tickets will not be available until Friday morning.
Mississippi State received the No. 1 seed in the Portland Region, and the region also includes No. 3 Syracuse, No. 5 Arizona State and No. 6 South Dakota State. The Ducks beat all four teams, which are now potential second-weekend opponents should the UO women survive the opening rounds.
The Ducks enter the NCAA Tournament having won the Pac-12 regular-season title and reached the conference tournament final, a loss to Stanford. The Cardinal also received a No. 2 seed into the NCAA Tournament, in the Chicago Region.
Oregon's opponent Friday, Portland State, enters the tournament at 25-7, having qualified for the NCAA Tournament by winning the Big Sky conference tournament. The Viks were the No. 4 seed for that event and knocked off top-seeded Idaho in the semifinals before beating Eastern Washington in the final.
