Pac-12 Tournament champion Oregon is the No. 12 seed in the South Region and will open the NCAA Tournament against #5 seed Wisconsin Friday at 1:30 p.m. in the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif. (TBS).
THE STARTING 5
• 1 – This is Oregon's sixth NCAA Tournament appearance in the last seven years, and overall it is the Ducks' ninth straight postseason appearance.
• 2 – A turnaround for the ages. On Feb. 23, Oregon was 15-12 (10th place in the Pac-12 at 6-8). Then came the streak of eight wins in a row.
