This clinches an amazing milestone for UO athletics, which will go more than a year between home losses for
@oregonfootball
,
@OregonWBB
and
@OregonMBB
.
That's 39 home games, 39 wins, zero losses.
Congrats on a perfect year in Eugene,
@GoDucks
fans. You make it happen.

Athletic departments that field an FBS football team and are unbeaten at home so far in 2019-20 across football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball:

That’s it. That’s the list.

Old enough to recall a time when it would have been pretty hard to fathom a young boy dressing up for Halloween as a female athlete. Welcome progress, this, and also an indication of how transcendent a role model
@sabrina_i20
has become. Great stuff all the way around.
#GoDucks
Kelly Graves: "This will never happen again. ... There won't be another group like this ever. We might have equally impressive teams, but what this group did to capture the imagination and the attention and the love of a new fan base was really incredible."
#GoDucks
Sabrina on getting triple-double No. 24, matching Kobe's number: "Definitely a little bit more emotional for this one. I'd probably be receiving a text from him at this time congratulating me. ... I hope I can stay at 24 for the rest of the year."
#GoDucks
Exhibiting grace and class every step of the way during her time at
@uoregon
, right up to the abrupt end. What a role model. We're all lucky to have been witness. Can't wait to see what comes next.
#GoDucks
The game has been over for two hours, and there’s still a couple hundred people in the line for autographs and photos with the
@OregonWBB
team.
#GoDucks
This guy. As the
@OregonBand
deplanes in Eugene,
@GoDucksKG
waits at the bottom of the stairs to shake hands with and thank each band member individually for making the trip.

Final numbers from senior weekend for
@haley_crusee
: 8-of-13 (.615) with three extra-base hits, three RBIs and two runs.
“She’s hot right now, and I think she’s going to continue to stay hot,”
@MelyssaLombardi
said. “She’s a senior that’s on a mission, no question.”
#GoDucks
It's been a heck of a year.
In the last 365 days, the combined record for
@oregonfootball
,
@OregonWBB
and
@OregonMBB
at home is 41-1.
Tonight's sellout crowd at
@MattArena
illustrated the support that's fueled that. Congrats to all three teams, and thanks to the fans.
#GoDucks
Aren’t enough ways to thank Haley for how she let the world at large know last year that, despite everything
@OregonSB
was going through, the Ducks were having fun and competing hard. Oh and she can hit a little too. Forever grateful for her impact on and off the field.
#GoDucks
I was supposed to post this on my senior day as a tribute to Jane Sanders Stadium. Now, it is my tribute to Duck Nation. Thank you for the memories that will last a lifetime. With love,

Tears from
@sedonaprince_
as she talks about rehabbing injury alongside
@sabally2000
last year, and now this: "When I came here we were both so broken; we didn't know if we were going to play basketball again. Now leading this team to the Sweet Sixteen is incredible."
#GoDucks
Let’s not let tonight’s result detract from the amazing run of the last five weeks. Shout out to seniors
@pdubbb13
and
@ehab_amin4
for their leadership, and credit to
@fastpp3
and the rest of the guys for the way they raised their game. Inspired us all with their spirit.
#GoDucks
Concession stand at the
#Pac12WBB
tournament noticeably lacking the
@OregonWBB
T-shirt. Apparently they sold out yesterday, got a new shipment this morning and sold out again — in 10 minutes.
#GoDucks
Went down a rabbit hole just now.
@sabrina_i20
hit 1,600/600/600 in January 2019, the middle of her junior year. What she did in 90 games, it took the first men's Pac-12 player 121 games to do.
Which is not to diminish his accomplishment. Just to say: Man, Sab is good.
#GoDucks
To his credit,
@DevonAllen13
took the high road after his DQ. Said his goal is to be the best hurdler in the world, and that’s still possible in the wake of this — after trying to achieve a goal of helping Philly win a Super Bowl.
His character is world class.

#ProDucks
This afternoon Dana Altman was asked about the triumvirate of titles for UO football and both basketball teams, and noted they have combined to go 39-0 at home: "Our wins at home are what fueled us. The community, the students, everybody should take great pride in that."
#GoDucks
Sue Bird following
@OregonWBB
's upset of
@usabasketball
, which beat three other college teams earlier this week: "The difference with Oregon was, they never quit. Some of the other teams, we maybe wore them down a little bit. But not this team."
#GoDucks
Kentucky coach Rachel Lawson: "For somebody who's been doing this a long time, to see this kind of fan base at a college is awesome. It wasn't too long ago we were begging for this many people to go to the World Series. To see this on a campus, at Oregon, is awesome."
#GoDucks
With
@OregonWBB
for this week’s three-game road trip. The Ducks split into teams for a shooting competition at practice and you’ll never guess who was on the winning side.
#GoDucks
2H | Throw it down one time! Or TWICE!
A pair of vicious dunks by
@kennywootenjr
and the Ducks take a 35-33 lead at the media timeout. 15:45 remaining.

#MarchMadness
🗣️: SAB AND HRONISS ARE ENGAGED!
Two of the best people you could ever meet, and the fact they found each other and now plan to marry makes the heart soar. Congrats to them both, and to the families! 🎉🎉
#GoDucks
Damn. Heartbroken for everyone involved but can't help feeling a little extra sadness for Sab and Ruthy and their team.
They've gained a whole lot of big-picture perspective on life the last couple months that nobody could have anticipated. Just a crushing 1-2 punch.
#GoDucks
Among the many, many reasons I'm thankful for
@sabrina_i20
: This morning on my Facebook feed, everyone is taking a break from politics to celebrate her epic performances on the national stage yesterday. It's nearly all everybody I know is talking about. Amazing.
#GoDucks
Dana Altman on the effort from Couisnard and Dante: "I made some coaching mistakes, and I’m gonna have to live with that. Because those two guys … we’ve been riding them all year. It was special to watch those two guys."
#GoDucks
Schools with their football team in the current AP top 25 and both basketball teams in the preseason top 25:
Michigan
North Carolina
Oregon
Tennessee
Texas
It thins out further if you include the volleyball top 25:
Michigan
Oregon
Texas
That's broad-based excellence.

The reaction from
@RuthyHebard24
to three
@OregonWBB
players being selected in the first 10 picks tonight: "I know if Eugene could have a party right now, it’d probably be a pretty good party."

.
@GoDucksKG
to his
@OregonWBB
team postgame: “I understand it’s not easy to celebrate on a day like this. ... You guys showed a lot of character, fight, class.”

#RIPKobe
Former
@OregonTF

@oregonfootball
star
@DevonAllen13
is headed back to the Olympics after finishing second in the U.S. Team Trials at Hayward Field tonight. He matched his time from the semifinals earlier today, 13.10.
#GoDucks
For just the third time, the players of the year in the Pac-12 for both women's basketball and men's basketball are from the same school. Congrats to both
@sabrina_i20
and
@fastpp3
on that achievement.
#GoDucks
Putting emphasis on his amazing 4️⃣-year career ‼️
If earning 2️⃣ conference titles and being the winningest player in
@OregonMBB
program history isn’t enough, we’ll throw on more.
@fastpp3
takes the crown for this years
#Pac12Hoops
Player of the Year. ➡️
"Previous winners include Peyton Manning (1997), Michelle Kwan (2001), Michael Phelps (2003), J.J. Reddick (2005), Tim Tebow (2007) and Ezekiel Elliott (2014)."
For my fellow gray hairs: Also, Bobby Jones, Rafer Johnson, Wilma Rudolph, Mark Spitz ... yeah, this is a big deal.
HUGE honor for the 🐐!

Vote for Sabrina! ➡️
Details ➡️
Down 19 early in the second half,
@OregonMBB
comes all the way back. Held Seton Hall without a field goal for the final 7:20 of the second half.
What a game. What a win.
#GoDucks
When you fight as hard as Eugene does, it hurts even more when you don't prevail. That's a guy who invested everything for this team. It was appreciated.
#GoDucks
Kelly Graves: "We tried our best, we worked hard. In the end they made plays, and we didn’t. But I’m really proud of my team, no question about it."

Watching
@OregonWBB
practice against a group of male players from the university, and within the first couple minutes the women get threes from Yaeger, Boley, Ionescu and Cazorla.
“Fellas, this is a clinic,”

announces.
It’s gonna be a fun year.

Kelly Graves from postgame: "In true Sabrina fashion, she goes out on the biggest day in the biggest moment and shines bright. It was really neat to see how hard she competed tonight. Gave it everything she had. ... I think everybody got a chance to see who Sabrina is."

Dana Altman to the
@OregonMBB
team in the locker room: “I told you, you gotta grind ‘em out on the road. Find a way. It doesn’t have to be a thing of beauty; it’s got to be a thing of toughness.”
#GoDucks
Just got off a Zoom call with
@RuthyHebard24
to preview the WNBA draft. She, Sab and Satou are poised to be Oregon's first ever first-round picks. "It’s so nice to be able to have them there, and talk to them about the same things I’m going through," Ruthy said.
#GoDucks
I've spent the last three weeks going, "This awesome
@GoDucks
story deserves to be on the front of the web site ... no wait, this other one does .... wait but what about this other one?!?"
Rounding up an amazing last few weeks for UO athletics.
#GoDucks
A call to action as
@OregonVB
flies home: If you watched the Elite Eight match, you saw how entertaining this team is, and also how a raucous home crowd impacts a match. When next fall comes around, consider coming out to MKA a few times. They’ll make it worth your time!
#GoDucks
A year after "hunting the Final Four" as a junior,
@sabrina_i20
will return to
@OregonWBB
as a senior looking to bag two even bigger trophies: a championship, and her master's degree from
@uoregon
#GoDucks
After Nyara Sabally had to be helped off the floor and was icing her leg at the end of
@OregonWBB
's win over UConn, she was able to practice today,
@GoDucksKG
said: "i think we’re good to go there."
#GoDucks
As
@OregonMBB
prepares to head to the
#Sweet16
as the only double digit seed, they’re not inclined to take on underdog role.
