  "account": "The Oregon men's basketball team's game against Pepperdine was postponed due to the FAA grounding flights on Friday, which affected travel plans for the Waves. The Ducks were scheduled to host the Waves at Matthew Arena on Sunday, but the visitors were unable to arrive in time, leading to the game's postponement. Both Oregon and Pepperdine are now searching for a suitable date to reschedule the contest. While Pepperdine is 2-2 this season, they average 96 points per game and play an aggressive style of basketball. On the other hand, Oregon is 3-0 this season, and head coach Tony Stubblefield appears to have his team playing at its best. The Ducks recently defeated Mississippi Valley State 100-66, while the Beavers won against Mississippi Valley State 81-65. Oregon State, Oregon's next opponent, is also undefeated with a 4-0 record. The Ducks and Beavers are set to play on Thursday at 6 pm, with the game televised on the Big Ten Network.",
