The Oregon Ducks will have a chance to add a quality win to their resume on Wednesday when they host the UC Riverside Highlanders (6-3) at Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene.

The game is set to tip off at 6 p.m. PT and will air on Pac-12 Network.

This marks the second time in as many seasons the Highlanders have visited Eugene. Last season, they nearly upset the Ducks, but ultimately lost 71-65. Will Richardson led Oregon with 17 points during that game.

“We played them last year, and had a heck of a game,” Oregon coach Dana Altman said. “We had a hard time slowing them down.”
