Oregon Basketball Aims for Win Against Struggling Washington

The Oregon men's basketball team (22-8) is set to conclude its regular season by facing rival Washington (13-17) on Sunday, aiming to extend their winning streak to seven games. After a recent victory over Indiana, the Ducks are locked into the No. 8 seed for the upcoming Big Ten tournament, demonstrating resilience after a prior five-game losing streak. Conversely, Washington enters the game on a five-game losing streak and has struggled throughout the season, guaranteeing a bottom finish in the conference. Oregon's Jackson Shelstad has been a standout player, scoring 17 points in the last game, while the Ducks have historically dominated the matchup, winning three straight against the Huskies. Coach Dana Altman emphasized the need to finish strong against a talented Washington team, who will be playing their final game of the season at home. This rivalry matchup comes with significance for both teams, with Oregon looking to solidify momentum heading into the tournament.
