The Civil War hasn’t seemed like a fair fight on the gridiron, but it has been much more of an even tilt on the hardwood.  There’s only one senior Duck this year who has played at Oregon all four years, and in that time E.J. Singler and the Ducks have played quite evenly with Oregon State. In 2009 and 2010, the teams traded sweeps with Oregon winning both games in 2010. No home team has won a game since then though, with the most recent win going to Oregon in both teams’ conference opener this January.

Singler scored 13 points in the first Civil War at Matthew Knight Arena in 2010, but it was a game dominated by Jay-R Strowbridge, who scored a career-high 26 points on his birthday. It was also the last time a home team won a game in the Civil War series. The following year Oregon beat Oregon State on the road with then-senior Garrett Sim quieting the crowd in his last visit to Corvallis, but Oregon lost to the Beavers at Matthew Knight Arena later that season.

Today, it’s E.J. Singler making his last Civil War appearance. Singler has averaged 12 points a game in his seven Civil Wars, scoring 16 points against the Beavers on two occasions.

The Civil War tips off at 8:00 p.m. on ESPNU.
