<p id="jojIud">Hey all, we’re back with another Big Ten Men’s Basketball preview! Up this time? The <a href="https://iuhoosiers.com/sports/mens-basketball">Hoosiers of Indiana</a>. The Hoosiers went a modest 19-13 in the 2024-2025 season, finishing 9th in the Big Ten, with a 10-10 conference record. Their most notable win of the season was probably a mid-February upset in East Lansing over #11 Michigan State, where they snapped a 5-game skid, just four days after head coach <a href="https://iuhoosiers.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/coaches/mike-woodson/3987">Mike Woodson</a> announced that he would retire at season’s end. Indiana would ultimately end up missing the NCAA tournament altogether. </p>
<p id="iqngTE">On March 18th, 2025, the school announced that <a href="https://iuhoosiers.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/coaches/darian-devries/4204">Darian DeVries</a> would be taking over the program, marking his third job in three years, having spent 2018-2024 as the HC of <a href="https://godrakebulldogs.com/sports/mens-basketball">Drake University</a>, before spending a lone season as the HC of <a href="https://wvusports.com/sports/mens-basketball">West Virginia</a>. DeVries will have some work to do, as every single scholarship player on the roster (who still had eligibility remaining) entered the transfer portal. </p>
<p id="QZ9P05">Some names to keep an eye on for Indiana this season, as they rebuild the roster from literally nothing, are <a href="https://iuhoosiers.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/reed-bailey/20208">Reed Bailey</a>, a 6’10” forward transferring in from Davidson, and <a href="https://iuhoosiers.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/lamar-wilkerson/20211">Lamar Wilkerson</a>, a 6’5” guard coming from Sam Houston State. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blUYwwOau54">Bailey</a> is a lanky big man who averaged just under 19 points per game and has some nice touch around the rim. He can also step out and hit the longball, shooting a scorching 41.5% from beyond the arc last season, albeit on only 1.2 attempts per game. He kind of reminds me of if you compressed Nate Bittle down a couple inches and gave him a touch more speed. </p>
<p id="LbHIwu"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cfylzK9-PA">Lamar Wilkerson</a> is a shooter. That’s his number one way to put up points. He has a pure jumper, with very little extra movement, so it is very repeatable. He shot the lights out this past season, averaging 20.5 points a game while shooting 47.7% from the floor and a whopping 44.5% from three on 7.7(!!!) attempts per game. When this dude gets going, he can really fill it up with the best of the best in all of college basketball. </p>
<p id="0rr6Yd">That being said, Indiana is a complete and total wildcard for me this season. They have a completely new roster, and a new head coach, so there really isn’t anything to go off. They could be near the top of the conference if everyone on the roster gels well, or they could be dead last if they don’t. There are too many variables, and not nearly enough constants to give any sort of accurate prediction for them this season. All I know for sure is that the Ducks will face them in Bloomington this season, but exactly when has not been announced quite yet. Hopefully Oregon will be able to handle them relatively easily. </p>
<p id="u3wXxD">As always, ‘Sco Ducks. </p>

<p><strong>Oregon Track and Field Closes Season with Strong Showing at NCAA Championships</strong></p> <p id="uxMjy0">The Oregon Ducks wrapped up the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Hayward Field with standout performances from both the men’s and women’s teams, combining for a flurry of finals appearances, personal bests, and podium finishes that earned top-11 team placements on both sides.</p>
<h3 id="NIyap1">Men’s Highlights: Erickson, Lawrence Lead Charge</h3>
<p id="DrjtKM">The men of Oregon tallied 19 team points to finish tied for 11th overall, led by a clutch second-place finish in the 800 meters from senior Matthew Erickson. The NCAA Indoor champion capped his collegiate career with another podium finish, navigating a crowded homestretch and making a decisive move late to secure the runner-up spot in 1:46.32.</p>
<p id="7bkmKe">In the field, Kobe Lawrence earned the Ducks’ first points of the meet with a massive personal best of 66 feet, 8 inches in the shot put to take fourth place. The throw moved him to No. 4 all-time in UO history and marked the program’s highest finish in the event since 1983.</p>
<p id="tEw5lK">Also contributing critical points were Benjamin Balazs, who finished seventh in the steeplechase with a new personal best of 8:24.46, and Safin Wills, who rebounded from disappointment in the long jump to notch seventh in the triple jump with a season-best 52-8.75 on his final preliminary attempt.</p>
<p id="ZowHZj">Simeon Birnbaum (1,500 meters) and Koitatoi Kidali (800 meters) both advanced through prelims with strong runs, but came up short of the podium in Friday’s finals. Birnbaum, boxed in down the stretch, finished seventh in 3:47.64, while Kidali — racing with a heavily wrapped shoulder after a fall in prelims — placed ninth. Aidan Elbettar rounded out the men’s performances with an 18th-place finish in the discus.</p>
<h3 id="Od4cE8">Women’s Highlights: McCormick Makes History</h3>
<p id="F4LTgD">The Oregon women saved their best for last, scoring 20 points on the final day to finish tied for 10th overall with 23 total. Junior Aaliyah McCormick led the way with a historic win in the 100-meter hurdles, becoming the first Duck ever to claim an NCAA title in the event. Despite a slow start and disruption in adjacent lanes, McCormick surged over the final hurdles to win in 12.81 seconds and cap a breakout outdoor season.</p>
<p id="0TmQx9">Middle-distance efforts also added key points, with Silan Ayyildiz and Klaudia Kazimierska finishing fourth and fifth, respectively, in the 1,500 meters. Though the trio of Ayyildiz, Kazimierska, and Mia Barnett entered the final with hopes of making history as the first team to score three runners in the event, Barnett placed 12th after running near the front early.</p>
<p id="phRNRM">Ryann Porter secured the team’s final point with an eighth-place finish in the triple jump, highlighted by a strong opening jump of 43-4.5. On the first day of women’s competition, Emily Fitzsimmons contributed three points with a sixth-place showing in the pole vault, clearing a personal-best 14-6.75.</p>
<p id="l3C5nm">Annika Williams was on pace to add to the total in the heptathlon before withdrawing prior to the final event, sitting fifth after top-five finishes in the high jump and shot put.</p>
<h3 id="8sfl2u">Promising Signs and Gritty Performances</h3>
<p id="zEMiCz">The four-day meet was filled with both triumph and adversity. Several Ducks had to sweat out qualifying on time, battle through injury, or navigate chaotic races. Erickson’s savvy tactics, Balazs’ quiet confidence, and McCormick’s powerful finish exemplified the grit and maturity of this year’s squads. Newcomers like Kidali and Fitzsimmons made their mark, while seniors like Elbettar and Wills closed their collegiate careers on home turf.</p>
<p id="1kcQNB">Oregon’s blend of veteran poise and young talent suggests that this strong showing at Hayward Field is not an ending but a beginning. The Ducks exit the national stage with momentum, pride, and the promise of even greater heights to come.</p>

<p>Dan Lanning was the King of the Big Ten, until he suddenly wasn’t. Can he stay near the top?</p> <p id="kUUbEv">After a couple initial seasons as head coach in the Pac-12, Oregon’s Dan Lanning took the newly reconfigured Big Ten by storm last year, running the gauntlet at 13-0 with a conference title and the top seed in the CFP. </p>
<p id="5bo6Dh">With his master motivational tools and slick in-game adjustments, he was the hottest coach in the nation. </p>
<p id="0UeZOz">Then, suddenly, Ryan Day and his staff completely outcoached him and sent his team packing in the Rose Bowl. </p>
<p id="r8dacM">So what happened? And what can we expect moving forward?</p>
<p id="bdhGHB">Not since the wonderful years of Mike Bellotti has Oregon had a coach tenured longer than four years. This will be Lanning’s fourth in Eugene...already. </p>
<p id="PIDqQV">Looked upon as a favorite for the Alabama position last year, Dan gave his famous “grass is damn green in Eugene” statement and seemed to affirm that he was solidly Oregon’s man for the long haul. </p>
<p id="VyyBL5">So was the 2025 Rose Bowl simply growing pains? </p>
<p id="XuafhG">Probably never had Oregon been in better position for a national title than 2012. They would have had the shoo-in in front of Alabama and matched up with an easily defeatable Notre Dame team.</p>
<p id="FoyOqW">But it all came crashing down when a chip shot field goal missed against Stanford on a chilly November evening. </p>
<p id="DKx2GL">Now, the road is much, much different.</p>
<p id="KmdwgR">At 13-0 and Big Ten Champions, the Ducks would have played one game for the National Title under the old system, and it wouldn’t have had to go anywhere near that vengeful Ohio State team. </p>
<p id="Mw5dNN">But the reality now is that in order to capture that elusive “Natty”, The Ducks must truly become the most complete team in the nation top to bottom, not just get the luck of the draw. </p>
<p id="195ITY">Lanning is tasked with not only constructing that team, but coaching them to that glory. </p>
<p id="bXXq6v">Jan 1st, 2025 was a stinging failed attempt, but Dan will get more.</p>
<p id="OTFsya">Question is, what can we expect next time? </p>

<p>How confident are you in each position group?</p> <p id="BvptZj">As the Calendar is now comfortably in June one could think we are now in the doldrums of the off-season here at addicted to quack. But what others call the “doldrums” I instead like to call it football preview season!</p>
<p id="nvTsLK">As preview season is beginning I wanted to gauge the fan base to see how we feel about the Ducks from top to bottom going into the season with a series of polls. </p>
<p id="0RJRQl">Broadly I was curious what area of the team the fans feel most confident in and what area of the team fans feel least confident in:</p>

<p id="oESrXr">With the <a href="https://www.ncaa.com/brackets/baseball/d1/2025">Men’s College World Series</a> kicking off today in <a href="https://charlesschwabfieldomaha.com/">Omaha</a>, and 3 of the 8 teams being members of the old Pac-10, it got me thinking: do you guys ever root for Oregon’s former conference opponents? What about current rivals?</p>
<p id="NPXWzg">For example, I (as I assume many of y’all do as well) have very little animosity toward Oregon State, when they aren’t playing Oregon. I’ve personally been rooting for them in the CWS since the Ducks got booted. With OSU, it’s very much a Big Brother/Little Brother relationship for me. Whereas with Washington, I would be perfectly happy if those mutts up north never won another game in any sport ever again until the end of time. So, it’s a very different kind of relationship. </p>
<p id="Uz8RaK">But what about y’all? Are there any (current or former) conference opponents you’ll root for? What about teams you’d rather eat a ghost pepper than root for? Let us know down below! </p>

<p>We compare the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons of players who transferred in or out between these seasons</p> <p id="rZPxzs">Once again, we take our summer look at the women’s basketball transfers that left or joined the Ducks between the 2023-24 and 2024-25 season.</p>
<h2 id="fYjjaV">Transfers Out of Oregon -</h2>
<p id="iiunr7">Following the conference crash-and-burn of <a href="https://goducks.com/sports/womens-basketball">Oregon WBB</a> at the end of the 23-24 season, most of the teams best players - and really, it wasn’t very many - left the Ducks to join other programs. The four players were Kennedy Basham, Priscilla Williams, Chance Gray, and Grace VanSlooten.</p>
<h2 id="miXeWA">Kennedy Basham - Arizona State</h2>
<div id="aYjBBt"><div data-anthem-component="table:12639681"></div></div>
<p id="V24LMZ">Basham improves at <a href="https://www.houseofsparky.com">Arizona State</a>; however, it’s fair to say that the Big XII doesn’t have quite the WBB teams that the old Pac-12 had. USC and UCLA were the dominant teams in the B1G, and no one had to contend with the long shadow of Cameron Brink. Regardless, Basham showed good improvement after leaving the Ducks.</p>
<h2 id="KKB1fV">Priscilla Williams - Jacksonville University</h2>
<div id="10ygSg"><div data-anthem-component="table:12639687"></div></div>
<p id="DmZLhy">Williams benefited in moving to the ASUN conference, which does not have the caliber of players that you’ll find in the Pac-12 or B1G.</p>
<h2 id="0uNOx3">Chance Gray - Ohio State</h2>
<div id="Fpq2CF"><div data-anthem-component="table:12639689"></div></div>
<p id="CHKWQT">Gray’s ASST/TO rate went from 1.0 to 1 at Oregon to 1.25 to 1 at OSU. She had less pressure with the Buckeyes; instead of being one of three players at Oregon scoring 400 or more points on the season (with no one else remotely close after that), she was one of five at OSU scoring 310 or more on the season - with a better bench.</p>
<h2 id="c60T90">Grace VanSlooten - Michigan State</h2>
<div id="FGYTXQ"><div data-anthem-component="table:12639692"></div></div>
<p id="kiVoNS">GVS also benefited from better bench support at MSU. She was the leading scorer on the team. Her ASST/TO rate went from 1.0 to 1 at Oregon to .81 to 1 at MSU. It’s interesting that MSU and Oregon had nearly identical records on the season, and both had identical results in the tournaments - both lost their first game in the B1G tourney and lost in the Round of 32 in the NCAA tournament.</p>
<h2 id="Rl89Uj">Transfers In to Oregon -</h2>
<p id="NV6wr3">Kelly Graves was forced to bring in players from the transfer portal more between the seasons than he has ever done before, and this is a trend that will continue as needed; that’s the effect of the transfer portal on all college sports. Graves brought in seven players: Nani Falatea (<a href="https://www.vanquishthefoe.com">BYU</a>), Deja Kelly (North Carolina), Salimatou Kourrouma ( Arizona), Ari Long (Washington), Elisa Mevius (Seina), Amina Muhammed (Texas), and Alexis Whitfield (UC Santa Barbara).</p>
<p id="hkGGh2">Nani Falatea only played in three games in 23-24, so that wasn’t a large enough sample size to work with. Salimatou Kourouma did not play due to injury.</p>
<h2 id="9bSFTf">Deja Kelly - North Carolina</h2>
<div id="xoyd23"><div data-anthem-component="table:12639695"></div></div>
<p id="eZCsqr">Kelly was a known quantity when she was brought in, and for the most part she lived up to her billing. Her veteran savvy showed late in the season with her command of the floor when needed, and she came through with some big shots when it counted.</p>
<h2 id="t3cNDn">Ari Long - Washington</h2>
<div id="SsFpX5"><div data-anthem-component="table:12639696"></div></div>
<p id="HRJTTF">Long was a sophomore last season. She showed flashes of a good upside, but this next season will tell the tale of what the Ducks have in Ari Long.</p>
<h2 id="p9DCyv">Elisa Mevius - Seina</h2>
<div id="upZVk1"><div data-anthem-component="table:12639698"></div></div>
<p id="q3wLGr">Mevius held remarkably steady, considering she came from a small school like Seina. Her stats probably would have been even better had she not been injured part of the season. At Seina, her ASST/TO rate was 1.35 to 1, and it shot up to 1.91 to 1 with the Ducks.</p>
<h2 id="9qMeYN">Amina Muhammed - Texas</h2>
<div id="1kpSBJ"><div data-anthem-component="table:12639699"></div></div>
<p id="RxJi9A">Muhammed’s stats remained very close in 23-24 and 24-25.</p>
<h2 id="VolbOs">Alexis Whitfield - UC Santa Barbara</h2>
<div id="EeTqz7"><div data-anthem-component="table:12639700"></div></div>
<p id="kk8HS1">This is probably to be expected, given the player difference between the Big West and Big Ten conferences.</p>
