The Oregon women’s basketball team (13-10, 4-8 in Pac-12) hosts the University of Southern California Trojans (15-9, 8-4 in Pac-12) on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14 at Matthew Knight Arena. Coming off a 81-75 loss to the Colorado Buffaloes on Monday, the Ducks are looking to bounce back in the Pac-12 before the Pac-12 tournament that starts March 6 in Seattle, Wash. The game comes with special recognition as the Ducks will be raising money for breast cancer awareness. Oregon offers a $5 admission fee to any fans that wear pink to the game and will hold a raffle to win special edition pink basketball shoes. Proceeds will go to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund. The Oregon Ducks will face the UCLA Bruins at Matthew Knight Arena on Feb. 17.
