The San Francisco 49ers packed up their belongings and headed home as work was being done around their home venue to get Levi's Stadium ready to host the Super Bowl next month.

Fresh off an impressive 80-63 win Saturday at Washington, Michigan State will look to close out Oregon and return home at 17-2 overall and 7-1 in the Big Ten. Michigan State faced Oregon twice last year – once at the Breslin Center and again in the Big Ten tournament. MSU won both matchups but Oregon gave the Spartans some initial trouble in East Lansing. The Ducks took a 50-36 lead into the halftime break before the Spartans responded with a massive second half, outscoring the Ducks 50-24 en route to a 12 point win. This game might be best remembered among Spartan fans as Jase Richardson’s formal introduction to the national stage as he dropped a season-high 29 points on the Ducks. Richardson led the Spartans over Oregon again with a 17 point performance in a 74-64 Spartan victory in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten tournament before becoming an NBA draft pick after his one-and-done season at MSU. Oregon, however, enters this matchup with two faces familiar to the Spartans out with injury and struggling to find their way. Join the conversation!

Their only conference win is against Maryland who just picked up their first conference win of the year on Sunday over Penn State (who still has no B1G wins). Oregon started the year with four straight wins but the toughest opponent in that group was perhaps their rival, Oregon State. Five straight losses followed and then a 4-1 stretch preceded the current four game losing streak. In conference, Oregon has suffered close losses to USC (82-77) and Rutgers (88-85) and fell by double digits to UCLA (74-63), Ohio State (72-62), and, most recently, Saturday to Michigan (81-71). Just prior to the loss to Michigan, the Ducks were crushed at Nebraska 90-55. As might be expected on a team that’s 1-6 in league play, Oregon doesn’t shoot the ball particularly well. They’re hitting just 43.2% of their shots, which ranks 16th of the 18 Big Ten teams. Oregon is also a bit prone to turnovers, committing 12.7 per game – the third most in the league. Michigan State, however, is just one spot better in giving up 12.3 per game. The Spartans’ assist to turnover rate is much better though at 1:52 compared to Oregon’s 1.17. Oregon Coaching As it states on Oregon’s basketball page, Dana Altman is one of just three active Division 1 coaches with 28 consecutive winning seasons. The others are Bill Self and none other than Tom Izzo. Izzo’s streak is likely to continue this year while Altman’s may be in some jeopardy at this point. Still, Altman has been in Eugene since 2010, is the winningest coach in Oregon history, and has nearly 800 career wins between stints at Marshall, Kansas State, and Creighton before Oregon. Under Altman, Oregon has been to 10 NCAA tournaments, advanced to the 2016 Elite 8 and 2017 Final Four, and won Pac 12 titles in 2020 and 2021. Altman was named the 2013 national coach of the year after leading the Ducks to a 28-9 record and the NCAA Sweet 16. Oregon Rotation At least part of Oregon’s recent struggles could be attributed to the loss of guard Jackson Shelstad who re-aggravated a pre-season injury to a tendon in his hand in the Ducks’ December 28 win against Omaha. He hasn’t played since and Oregon indicated on Saturday that he’s likely out for the season. Oregon’s rotation took another hit when 7-foot senior center Nate Bittle suffered a foot injury in the loss at Nebraska. He was ruled out for the Michigan game on Saturday and, shortly after that game, it was announced he could miss about a month of action. Even with two of their best players out, and in the midst of a disappointing season to date, Oregon held a two point lead against the Wolverines early in the second half and remained…
