The Oregon Ducks are currently 9-0 throughout their first nine games of their 2025 season, and Ducks coach Kelly Graves has the team rolling. The Ducks will face the Beavers off the back of their 58-53 win over Auburn in Alabama. The Ducks have had their fair share of blowouts and close wins this year, blowing out Old Dominion 84-46 and Utah State 70-34, while edging out a close win over Auburn. 

The Ducks will play six out of their next seven games at the friendly confines of the Matthew Knight Arena, with Oregon State making the short trip down I-5 to battle Oregon Wednesday night. The Beavers bring in a 5-3 record a season after making an incredible run through the WCC and earning a berth in the NCAA Tournament.

Oregon State coach Scott Rueck has been regarded as one of the best in the country after he led the Beavers to the NCAA Tournament after losing their entire starting five to the transfer portal the year prior.
