On Monday morning, the remaining portion of the schedule, which includes 18 Pac-12 conference games, was released by the athletic department.

Conference play tips off with seven consecutive televised games by the Pac-12 network.

“I’m really excited to play a lot of games at home,” Graves said in a release on Monday. “I know we’ll get some great support from our fans and we hope to grow that support more and more.”

In total, the Ducks will play in 14 televised games including 17 homes games and 10 on the road. The schedule also includes two neutral site games during the Thanksgiving holiday.

The non-conference schedule includes trips to Eugene from North Carolina and Fresno State, both NCAA tournament teams.

Oregon will get its conference play started against USC, the defending Pac-12 tournament champions while also playing UCLA and Oregon State while on the road.

This year, the Bay Area schools, Stanford and California, will travel to Eugene to play the Ducks. The game against Pac-12 power Stanford will finish out the regular season and be televised on Pac-12 network. The mountain schools, Utah and Colorado, will not make an appearance in Eugene per the Pac-12 scheduling rotation.

“I can’t wait to coach in the Pac-12,” Graves added, in the release. “The conference is as talented and deep as any year I’ve seen it. I’m up for the challenge and I know the Ducks are too.”
