The Ducks finished the season on a five-game winning streak, including a sweep of UCLA and USC in Los Angeles this past weekend to claim the conference title outright for the first time since 2002.

The Ducks finished a perfect 18-0 at Matthew Knight Arena while also beating Arizona, Utah and USC on the road. Those teams went a collective 48-1 in games in home against teams not named Oregon.

Oregon is the top seed in the upcoming Pac-12 Tournament this week. The Ducks have a first round bye and will play either Washington or Stanford in the second round on Thursday.
