Oregon's week just keeps getting better. After taking home the Pac-12 Men's Basketball Tournament title on Saturday night, the Ducks were named the #1 seed in the NCAA Western Region. It's the first-ever No. 1 seed in Oregon men's basketball history. They'll head to Spokane, Washington to face off against the winner of the Holy Cross-Southern matchup on Friday night.

Oregon State made huge strides this season, finishing 19-12 and earning a spot in the dance for the first time since 1990. Yes, you read that right.

The Trojans looked strong in their 24-point win over UCLA in the Pac-12 Tournament opening round last Wednesday, putting them in the NCAA discussion. USC is an No. 8 seed in the East Region, squaring off against ninth-seeded Providence on Thursday night.
