James Madison suffered just one loss this season, against Louisville. That was back in September, and the Dukes would roll through Sun Belt play. That culminated with their win in the Sun Belt Championship against Troy.

Oregon, meanwhile, only lost to No. 1 Indiana this season. Outside of that, the Ducks have been just about perfect this season. Now, a year removed from winning the Big Ten but losing in their first Playoff game, Oregon is hoping to turn things around and make a deep run in the postseason.

The winner of the James Madison and Oregon game is set to play Texas Tech. The Red Raiders are the No. 4 seed and won the Big 12 this season.
