The Oregon men's basketball team opens play on its tour of Spain on Tuesday morning without the services of Dillon Brooks, who is recovering from foot surgery.
The Ducks already know plenty about their all-Pac-12 junior leading scorer, though. The four-game schedule in Spain, which begins Tuesday in Madrid, will be about seasoning for the team's impressive cast of newcomers as the UO men look to build chemistry for their Pac-12 title defense in 2016-17.
"It's going to be good," said Kavell Bigby-Williams, the reigning junior college player of the year and the newest addition to the Ducks' front line.
