The No. 9 Oregon Ducks face the No. 22 Illinois Fighting Illini in a men’s college basketball game on Thursday, Jan. 2, 2025 (1/2/25) at Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene, Oregon.

Illinois 109, Oregon 77. Given that Oregon is ranked ninth in the Associated Press Top 25 poll, and given that the game was played inside Matthew Knight Arena, Illinois on Thursday became the first team to ever win a road contest over an opponent ranked in the top 10 of the AP poll by at least 32 points.

It was the most points ever allowed by a Dana Altman team at UO, third most points allowed in program history and the most allowed in regulation in a home game in Oregon history.

A day after the Oregon Ducks football team suffered a 41-21 loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals at the Rose Bowl, the men's basketball program didn't exactly make the heartache any easier to deal with.
