The Oregon Duck Men’s Basketball team is one of the hottest teams in the country and will now play in the Sweet 16 after beating No. 13 seed UC Irvine on Sunday night in the second round of the 2019 NCAA Tournament.

The Ducks opened the second half scoreless for seven minutes but turned it on and went on a massive run that ended in a 73-54 victory.

Junior Payton Pritchard led the Ducks on Sunday with 18 points on 7-of-18 shooting while adding seven assists and four rebounds.

In the win against UC Irvine, Dana Altman tied former Oregon coach Ernie Kent as the most winningest coach in program history. The head coach, who is in his ninth season at Oregon will look to become the winningest coach against Virginia and get his 236th victory as a Duck.

Oregon now meets South #1 seed Virginia in Louisville, Kentucky this Friday.

For the third straight season, the Oregon Women’s Basketball team is moving on to the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament.  The No. 2 seed Ducks defeated No. 10 seed Indiana, 91-68, on Sunday night to advance to the Sweet 16.

The Ducks will head to the Moda Center for the Sweet 16, meeting either Syracuse or South Dakota State on Friday night. Tip time will be either 6 PM or 8:30 PM.

The Ducks advanced to a third consecutive Sweet Sixteen….Eight of the program’s 13 all-time wins (13-14) in the NCAA Tournament have come over the last three seasons…Improved to 6-3 all-time in NCAA Tournament games played in Eugene…Hit a program NCAA Tournament record 13 three-pointers, which were the most allowed by Indiana this season…Improved to 20-0 when shooting 50 percent or better this season.

The Oregon State women play against Gonzaga for the chance to play in the sweet 16 tonight.

Oregon Tech’s baseballers (6-25, 2-14 NAIA-W) bid to split the weekend’s NAIA-West play against Lewis-Clark State (16-10-1, 8-6 NAIA-W) on Sunday at Harris Field was cut short as they lost 7-0 in the first game and fell to a three-run burst from the Warriors in the final inning of the second game, ending 4-3.

The softball team swept Carroll College of Montana Saturday at the brand new John and Lois Stilwell complex, the first official games played on the new facility Saturday.

The Portland Trail Blazers host the Brooklyn Nets tonight at Moda Center with a 7pm tip off.  Hear the game on Wynne Broadcasting’s CBS Sports Radio The Winner, 1240AM, or 106.5FM.

When it comes to a 16 seed beating a 1, it’s still true — anything really can happen in the NCAA Basketball Tournament.
 
Just not on Thursday night. And not against Gonzaga.
 
One year after dreamers and underdog lovers rejoiced at top-seeded Virginia’s first-of-its-kind, first-round loss, the Gonzaga Bulldogs crushed any thought of a repeat with a wire-to-wire 87-49 thumping of Fairleigh Dickinson in the West Region.
 

Oregon’s men open NCAA tournament play in San Jose at 1:30 this afternoon as they meet Wisconsin

And the Oregon women play at 4pm against in-state opponent Portland State at Matthew Knight Arena in the first round of the women’s tournament.

Mariner’s win in Japan.  For a man who never wanted to quit playing baseball, there can be no perfect ending. But Ichiro Suzuki might have come as close as possible to finding the right exit to a brilliant career when he announced Thursday that he’s retiring from the game after playing one last time with the Mariners in a 5-4, 12-inning win vs. the A’s in his home country of Japan.

The 45-year-old gathered himself for a final hurrah in front of a sold-out Tokyo Dome crowd that cheered his every move and then bid farewell to baseball and his Japanese fans in a touching tribute that brought goosebumps to an entire nation and tears to the 45-year-old’s eyes.

Mariners manager Scott Servais sent the legendary right fielder out to his position in the bottom of the eighth inning of the Opening Series finale, then pulled the rest of his defenders off the field to allow Ichiro to come off on his own as he was replaced by rookie Braden Bishop.

Seattle opened the regular season with a 2 game sweep of Oakland in Tokyo.  A handful of exhibition games remain this weekend for Seattle, who returns Thursday to regular season games for good against the defending World champion Boston Red Sox.

The Henley Hornets on the diamond improved to 3-1 on the young baseball season with an 11-0 romp over Cascade Christian of Medford at Rosser Field yesterday.  The Hornets play next in the Newport tournament next week.  Mazama hosts Siuslaw today at Mazama High, while Klamath Union hosts Yreka.
