Oregon Ducks Streak Toward 104 Year Old Record vs Cal

Updated Mar. 4, 2020 10:47 p.m. ET

The Oregon Men’s Basketball team are making a push toward history on Thursday when they return home to face the Cal Bears at Matthew Knight Arena.

The Oregon Ducks have not lost a game since November and are now near returning to the Top Ten after dismantling Oregon State last Saturday at home. Dana Altman and the Ducks now return to the court for two games this week taking on Cal on Wednesday and hosting the Stanford Cardinal on Saturday afternoon.

Cal comes into Eugene winning the 8 of the last 10 games in Eugene and are looking to make their own mark in the Pac-12 Conference this season. The Golden Bears are 13-5 and 4-2 in Conference play. Oregon is scoring 10 points per game more than Cal per game.

A win Wednesday would tie a 104 year old record by the Oregon Ducks at 15 straight. It would also guarantee another winning season under Dana Altman according to GoDucks.com
