Oregon Ducks Men's Basketball History
The University of Oregon men's basketball team was created in the 1902–03 season. High levels of success came for the program after Howard Hobson took over as head coach in 1935. Four years into Hobson's tenure, the Oregon Ducks became the first team to win the NCAA Basketball Championship. That championship team is known as "The Tall Firs" because of the collective height advantage they had over other teams in the country.
The Ducks have also enjoyed other strong eras. In the early 1970s when Dick Harter became head coach, his Kamikaze Kids teams, known for their swarming style of play, saw success. They twice won 20 games in a single season, and also made three consecutive National Invitation Tournament appearances. In 1974, they upset John Wooden's No. 1 UCLA Bruins. Ernie Kent, who was one of the Kamikaze Kids under Harter, was hired as head coach in 1997 and helped bring the program back to prominence. The Ducks made the NCAA Tournament in 2000, 2002, 2003, 2007, and 2008 under Kent. The 2002 and 2007 teams made the Elite Eight.
Since 2010, Dana Altman has been the coach of Oregon. The team has seven NCAA Tournament appearances under him, including a Final Four berth in 2017. They've also won three Pac-12 Conference Tournaments under Altman.

It was wonderful as a family night out. My two sons love basketball and it was the first time they watched a tournament in Eugene. As early teenagers, there are not many moments when they get excited about outgoings (as it means away from screen time :) but this was a truly memorable and enjoyable time for them. Seeing the joy on their faces made me happy :)
Less than half the people in attendance actually wore a mask while watching the game. How about enforcing the mask mandate or scrapping it altogether? It's a joke.
Great view of the court, the view we were shown on the app was exactly what our view was. We enjoyed it so much we bought tickets for the Civil War! Go Ducks!
It was an awesome game. Great effort by our Duck Men's team to clamp down on defense to shut down the Buffaloes and at the same time drop their shots and come from behind to win the game.
Matt Court is a great place to watch Ducks basketball. Our seats were great, the free shuttle from Autzen Stadium worked well, and the Ducks played great (first half anyway; coasted in the second).
Easy access to ADA parking off Franklin Street. Short walk to entrance.
Always enjoy games at this arena! The men played a great game
Great event and staff. When I purchased the tickets (and I went back and looked), it said nowhere that purses aren’t allowed ... causing me a long walk in the rain back to the car to drop off my girlfriend’s purse. Admission folks were very helpful. I politely complained and none of us could find a notice about purses. It’s a small thing for me, but for some it could have been a real hardship.
For my birthday, I wanted to see Payton Pritchard play before he graduated...the team didn’t disappoint!!!! Go Ducks!!!!
Good game, and nice OT Win for the Ducks. OREGON WON, OREGON WON, OREGON WON, OREGON WON, OREGON WON, OREGON WON, OREGON WON, OREGON WON!!!!!!!!!
I am a disabled veteran and my disability flared up so bad that I had to stay home. I was very disappointed.
I love the follow through! Ticketmaster is the ONLY place I would ever consider getting tickets. I live in a small area and don't have access to big events like others living in more populated areas of the state. Ticketmaster has great follow through and the tickets are great. Thanks Ticketmaster for your promptness and making me feel at ease with my purchase. I WILL order from Ticketmaster again...
Had a great time at the game. Can't wait to go again!
The games were great. We enjoyed watching the men's and women's team play in PDX. When I purchased the tix the availability was limited to the Club Level, yet the stadium was only 40% occupied! I wish we had better seating! The worst experience was the lack of concessions in the entire arena. No concessions were available on the Club Level! THEN, WE WAITED 40 MINUTES FOR BURGERS AT THE CRAFTERS GRILL - SO UNORGANIZED! MANY COMPLAINTS BY CUSTOMERS WERE GIVEN! AN AWFUL EXPERIENCE! Disappointed with the lack of UO presence - no cheerleaders, limited band. It felt like a half-hearted effort. Did not inspire me as a Duck fan who bleeds green. I recommend this event only because it was a great opportunity to watch my teams play. The ancillary experience; seating, concessions, UO hype experience were horrible.
