The college basketball landscape has been thrown into chaos. After just two non-conference games, the Oregon Women’s Basketball team hosts Colorado to open Pac-12 play Friday.

If there was not a pandemic, they likely would have seen the likes of a Baylor or South Carolina on the non-conference schedule, but with the coronavirus pandemic, the team has faced just two non-conference opponents in Seattle and Portland.
