Where Oregon Ducks are projected to land in NCAA Tournament field
After a thrilling run through the Pac-12 Tournament in Las Vegas, the Oregon Ducks are headed to the NCAA Tournament.
Oregon’s only potential avenue to reaching the tournament was by way of running the table in Las Vegas this week, and the Ducks did exactly that. Dana Altman’s squad upset Colorado in Saturday’s title game to steal a bid and punch their first ticket to the big dance since 2020-21.
“It’s such a wonderful moment, because we went through some hard times with our team throughout this year,” Oregon forward Jadrian Tracey said. “These last few weeks when we were going through it, we knew it was coming — we knew that ‘click’ was coming. This is a wonderful feeling, man.”
For the past month, or so, Oregon has not been featured by any reputable outlets among 68-team field projections. That, of course, has changed since Saturday’s win over the Buffs. Here’s a rundown of where several notable bracketologists are projecting the Ducks to land when the field is announced at 3 p.m. PT today.
