How To Watch Oregon Ducks vs. Omaha: TV Channel, Injuries, Betting Odds

This is the final non-conference game on the Oregon Ducks' 2025-26 schedule before moving into the gauntlet that is the Big Ten Conference. The winless 0-3 stretch during the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas, Nevada, put Oregon in a tough position to receive any consideration for an at-large bid for March Madness.

The Omaha Mavericks (7-7 overall record) out of the Summit League are coming off an NCAA Tournament appearance in 2025-26. The Ducks are 6-1 at home, which is all their victories on the season.

Omaha Player to Watch For

Senior guard Lance Waddles - team-leading 18.0 points on 51.4 field goal percentage/47.3 three-point percentage, 5.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.3 steals per game

Mavericks coach Chris Crutchfield has hand over the keys to the offense to Waddles in his second season with the Omaha program. He started out his career with the North Dakota State Bison, another member of the Summit League.

Waddle is No. 9 in the country in three-pointers made per game at 3.7. He has the second-most makes from beyond the arc on the season, with 52 on 110 attempts. The 6-4 guard is also the only Summit League player with multiple double-doubles this season, at two.

Oregon’s Key to Victory

Continue to feed Nate Bittle his touches

Coach Dana Altman should look to make the seven-foot senior center the focal point of his offense. Coming off a 28-point outing against the No. 7 Gonzaga Bulldogs at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon, Bittle is averaging 15.1 points on a shooting split of 45.6 field goal percentage, 33.3 three-point percentage, and 81.5 free throw percentage. That's to go along with his 6.5 rebounds and team-leading 2.1 blocks per game (tied for No. 29 in college basketball).

Having junior lead guard Jackson Shelstad dictate the offense and put his teammates into their scoring spots is what he's best at. Bittle has been his favorite teammate to feed on all spots of the court.

Oregon's NET, KenPom Update
