• 2 – With Oregon's next win, Dana Altman will tie John Wooden for 28th on the NCAA Division I coaching wins list. Altman has 663 career wins. Wooden won 664 games in his legendary career with Indiana State and UCLA.

• BENCH – The Ducks have now secured their 10th straight winning season, tying an 88-year-old school record. Dana Altman also has his 23rd consecutive winning season as a head coach, matching five Hall of Famers - Mike Krzyzewski, Tom Izzo, Roy Williams, Bill Self and Jim Boeheim - with an active streak of 23 or more consecutive winning seasons.
WOODEN UP NEXT FOR ALTMAN

PRITCHARD SECOND TO NONE IN ASSISTS
One of Oregon's most successful positions at the professional level has been at guard, from Jim Barnett to Ron Lee in the 1960s and 1970s to NBA All-Star Terrell Brandon in the 1990s to Luke Ridnour and Aaron Brooks in the most recent decade. All of those players save Lee played at least 10 years in the NBA, and all figure prominently in the UO record book. And Payton Pritchard now has more assists, steals and three-pointers than all of them. Pritchard broke the UO career assists record Thursday night against California, where he also registered his 200th career steal (second). His 255 three-pointers are third all-time, while his 617 assists now rank 12th in Pac-12 history.
