March Madness features three Oregon college basketball teams

Three college basketball teams from Oregon are competing in the March Madness NCAA tournament which started on Tuesday. Oregon State University women’s basketball team is a No. 3 seed and will make its first NCAA tournament appearance since 2021 on Thursday, when it hosts Eastern Washington University. The University of Portland women’s basketball team is making its second consecutive tournament appearance this year after winning the West Coast Conference championship game with a one-point victory over Gonzaga University earlier this month. The University of Oregon Ducks enter the NCAA men’s tournament as a No. 11 seed after winning their last championship game as a member of the Pac-12 conference. UO joins the Big Ten conference in the fall.
