In the end, the Oregon Ducks will enter the NCAA Tournament through the front door.

The Oregon men knocked off Colorado 75-68 Saturday night in the Pac-12 Conference tournament championship game to complete one of the most improbable runs of Dana Altman’s tenure with the team. Four days ago, the Ducks were destined for the NIT. Later this afternoon, they’ll learn their first-round opponent for the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2021.

The men’s selection show is at 3 p.m. on CBS. The women’s draw is released at 5 p.m. on ESPN.

Until then, here are Darby Winter’s shots from a historic Oregon basketball win.
