What to know: The Ducks returned from starters from last year’s team that came within a victory of the Final Four. Oregon struggled most of the season because of inconsistent and indifferent defense. When the 3-pointers fall, the Ducks are difficult to beat.
Strengths: Fast-paced offense. Perimeter shooting. Experience. Balanced offense.
Weaknesses: Defense. Depth. Rebounding.
2007 NCAAs: Lost in regional final to Florida.
