Oregon Ducks in Need of Big Ten Tournament Run

The Ducks will not be receiving an at-large bid to the 2026 NCAA Tournament after an extremely disappointing season to this point. Any hopes Oregon has of making a run to the big dance hinges on their performance in the Big Ten tournament. The Ducks will have to win the whole thing to secure the conference’s auto-bid to the NCAA Tournament.
This will require Oregon to win six games in six days. It’s a going to be a gauntlet and the Big Ten is a top league in the country this season, so coach Dana Altman and his team will have their work cut out for them.
This wouldn’t be the first time an Altman-lead Oregon team won a conference championship to secure a needed automatic berth. In 2019 and 2024, Oregon entered the Pac-12 Tournament on the outside looking in at the NCAA Tournament. They ended up winning the tournament to get the auto-bid in the NCAA Tournament, winning at least one game in each NCAA tournament after.
This year in the Big Ten will be a much more difficult task as Oregon has been having a down year and will have to win even more games to win it compared to their Pac-12 tournament titles.
