  "account": "The Oregon men’s basketball team will commence their 2026-27 Big Ten season on the road against their historic rival UCLA on December 1. The Ducks will play 20 games in total for the conference, with 10 of those games being hosted at Matthew Knight Arena and the remaining 10 played away. Their initial away game will be against UCLA at Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles, followed by a home game against Southern California on December 5.\n\nAfter a three-week interlude of non-conference games, the team resumes Big Ten play with the longest distance trip of the season, facing Ohio State and Penn State during a three-game road tour. They will also host and play away against UCLA, Washington, Michigan, Michigan State, Indiana, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Illinois.\n\nOregon finished last season with a 5-15 conference record, marking their first losing season in 16 years under coach Dana Altman. In an offseason overhaul, Altman brought in eight transfers and two freshmen to revitalize the roster. The full 2026-27 Big Ten schedule will be released at a later date.",
