Previous season

edit

The Ducks finished the season 21–7, 14–4 in Pac-12 play to win the regular season Pac-12 championship. They defeated Arizona State in the quarterfinals of the Pac-12 tournament before losing to their rival Oregon State in the semifinals. They were invited in the NCAA Tournament as a at-large bid where they moved on because VCU had Coronavirus. They beat Iowa in the second round before losing to PAC-12 member USC in the Sweet Sixteen.

Off-season

Departures

edit

Note that all players in the 2020–21 season, regardless of their classification, had the option to return to the program. Due to COVID-19 impacts, the NCAA declared that the 2020–21 season would not count against the athletic eligibility of any student-athlete in any of the organization's winter sports, including basketball.[1] This led the NBA and its players union to agree that for the 2021 draft only, players who were seniors in 2020–21 had to declare their eligibility for the draft.[2]
