Women's Basketball Releases Non-Conference Schedule
08/20/19 | Women's Basketball
EUGENE, Ore. – Head coach Kelly Graves has announced a challenging non-conference slate in 2019-20 for the Oregon women's basketball team.
Â
The non-conference schedule is highlighted by a game at UConn on Feb. 3 and a trip to the U.S. Virgin Islands for the Paradise Jam over Thanksgiving.
Â
Out of the Ducks' 12 total non-conference opponents, five were NCAA Tournament teams a year ago. No. 2 seed UConn joined the Ducks in the Final Four last season, losing to Notre Dame. No. 1 seed Louisville eliminated Oregon State in the Sweet 16 before falling to UConn in the Elite Eight. No. 6 seed South Dakota State upset No. 3 seed Syracuse in the second round of the tournament but lost to the Ducks in the Sweet 16 in Portland. No. 9 seed Kansas State stumbled in the opening round.
Â
Oregon opens the 2019-20 season at home on Nov. 11 against Northeastern, the first of three straight home games. After a road game at Syracuse on Nov. 24, UO will head straight to the Paradise Jam to play Oklahoma State, UT Arlington and Louisville.
Â
UO hosts South Dakota State on Dec. 8 before visiting Long Beach State on Dec. 14. The Ducks then return home for three straight games to close out the calendar year.Â
Â
After an exhibition game against Corban on Dec. 28, Oregon opens Pac-12 play the weekend of Jan. 3-5, with Colorado and Utah visiting Matthew Knight Arena.
Â
The Ducks are still finalizing details of a special season-opening exhibition game which will be announced at a later date.
Â
The lower level of Matthew Knight Arena is sold out for the 2019-20 season. Reserved season tickets are still being sold in the upper level for just $119. Single-game tickets will go on sale after the Pac-12 portion of the 2019-20 schedule is released.
