The Arizona Wildcats and Oregon Ducks are quite familiar with each other.
Longtime members of the Pac-12 Conference, Arizona and Oregon have faced off 93 times in men's basketball, with Arizona holding a 55-38 edge.
In their last season together in the Pac-12, Arizona swept the season series from Oregon before losing to the Ducks in the 2024 Pac-12 Tournament semifinals.
Now members of the Big 12 and Big Ten, Arizona (23-12) and Oregon (25-9) will meet again on Sunday with a lot on the line — a spot in the Sweet 16 of the 2025 NCAA Tournament.
After going to the NCAA Tournament every year of his coaching career under Mark Few at Gonzaga, Tommy Lloyd has led Arizona into March Madness all four seasons of his tenure in Tucson. He is 5-2 in NCAA Tournament games as the head coach at Arizona, and has advanced to the Sweet 16 in two of the last three seasons.
