Joining the Ducks and Wolverines in the regional will be Cal Poly out of the Big West and former Pac-12 foe Arizona, winners of the Big XII tournament. Cal Poly (41-17) upset UC-Irvine in their conference tournament. As for the Wildcats (39-18), they defeated TCU to earn that league’s automatic berth.
Oregon (42-14) enters the NCAA tourney as one of the hottest teams in the country, as the Ducks have won 11 of their last 12 games. The lone loss came in the Big Ten tournament to the eventual champions, the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
As the 12-seed, Oregon’s Eugene Regional is matched up with the Chapel Hill Regional, where the 5-seed North Carolina team is favored to win.
Oregon and Utah Valley will play Friday night at PK Park after the Cal Poly-Arizona game earlier in the day.
