The last three games between the Arizona Wildcats (18-3, 7-3) and the Oregon Ducks (20-2, 9-1) have shown the Wildcats whittling down the gap between the two.
On March 1 of last year, the Ducks won 83-54. A week later, they won 77-63. Last month, the gap was down to 71-64 in what was a one-possession game late in the fourth quarter.
But make no mistake, the Ducks are still the Ducks.
Oregon has defeated the USA Basketball women’s national team in an exhibition. They swept Oregon State for the first time in 10 years.
