The Oregon Ducks lost 100-58 to top-seeded Texas in the NCAA Tournament, a game that the team expected to create an upset opportunity. Despite being installed as 27.5-point underdogs, the Ducks failed to compete. Sophomore Ehis Etute said the loss was more than the margin of defeat. The game was dominated by Texas' defense, led by 6-foot-1 Madison Booker, who scored 40 points, a career high and a program tournament record. The Ducks' only shot to stay close was to score points and prevent Texas from capitalizing on their misses. Oregon committed 15 turnovers, leading to 23 Texas points. The team's poor performance was described as a "disappointing" performance.
