Oregon Ducks Basketball Big Ten Matchup At USC Trojans Scheduled for December

Two familiar Pac-12 Conference foes will battle for the first time as members of the Big Ten Conference. Dana Altman's Oregon Ducks will travel to Southern California to take on the Trojans on December 4th, 2024.

The USC Trojans will host the Oregon Ducks on Dec. 4 at the Galen Center as part of its early Big Ten Conference schedule. Nothing new as both programs were apart of the conference realignment between the Pac-12 Conference and the Big Ten Conference.

Dating back to 1949-1950, USC leads the all-time series over Oregon, 69-62. The Ducks have the last three head-to-head matchups dating back to 2023. The last victory for the Trojans came at the Matthew Knight Arena back in 2022, 70-69.

In last season's 82-74 victory at Matthew Knight Arena, Oregon Ducks forward Kwame Evans Jr. led all scorers with 22 points on 6-for-8 field goals and 3-for-4 three-pointers. He also grabbed eight rebounds and disrupted the passing lanes with five steals.

Jackson Shelstad was the shining star in the 78-69 road win at the Galen Center last year. The Oregon guard led all scorers with 20 points on 7-for-13 field goals and 4-for-6 three-pointers. He was unselfish with the rock as he dished out six assists as well as pick-pocketing two steals.

Both Evans and Shelstad will be returning for their sophomore seasons as the Ducks enter the Big Ten. The two returnees will be the face of the program alongside the impressive transfer portal haul. Villanova's TJ Bamba, Georgetown's Supreme Cook, Stanford's Brandon Angel, and Toledo's Ra'Heim Moss look to make an immediate impact for the Ducks. This is one of the most talented groups that head coach Dana Altman has put together since coming to Eugene in 2010.
