Well, that a bit unexpected. But Oregon isn’t going to turn down a dance invitation.
The Ducks are officially in the NCAA tournament after defeating Colorado 75-68 in the last Pac-12 tourney in Las Vegas. It was the first time Oregon has won three straight games since January and it picked a heck of a time putting it all together.
And it wasn’t like they beat three lowly teams. Oregon was a combined 1-5 against UCLA, Arizona, and the Buffaloes before this weekend. After the win, most of the attention was on it being the last game for the Conference of Champions with memories and highlight videos dominating Vegas. Advancing to the Big Dance was almost an afterthought.
But the Ducks are dancing and will find out who they play, where they’ll play and what seed was assigned to them on Sunday afternoon. Here are some of the best photos from the big celebration from Sin City.
