The NCAA’s selection committee gave the Pac-12’s top tentative tournament placement during its Feb. 11 early reveal, and the Ducks haven’t lost since. While Oregon had a few close calls down the stretch — winning at Cal by three points on a game-winner from Brooks, beating Stanford by two, and leading Cal by just two points with 44 seconds left in their semifinal game. But the Ducks always seem to get it done with their combination of experience and ability to create mismatches, having won eight in a row since their 82-79 loss at UCLA on Feb. 9.
