Ducks' schedule taking shape.

Byline: Steve Mims The Register-Guard

The Oregon men's basketball home schedule will not include Arizona next season.

The Pac-12 Conference announced its weekend matchups without listing exact dates and the Ducks will not host Arizona or Arizona State because of the unbalanced schedule. Oregon also will not visit the Washington schools.

The Civil War in Corvallis will open conference play between Dec. 30 and Jan. 3. Oregon's first conference homestand will be against Stanford and California on Jan. 6-10.

The Ducks will make their first trip out of state in Pac-12 play to face Utah and Colorado between Jan. 13-17. UCLA and USC are at Oregon the following weekend before the Ducks visit Arizona and Arizona State on the last weekend of January.

Oregon opens February by hosting Utah and Colorado before visiting Stanford and California on Feb. 10-14. That is the week after the Super Bowl is held at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.

Oregon will host Oregon State between Feb. 17-21 and then host Washington State and Washington during the last weekend of February. The Ducks will close out the conference schedule at USC and UCLA on the opening weekend of March before heading to Las Vegas for the conference tournament.

The full conference schedule with dates and times is expected to be released in September.

Brooks named to Canadian U19 team

Oregon forward Dillon Brooks made the 12-man roster for Canada in the U19 FIBA World Championships in Heraklion, Greece, later this month. Brooks was one of 19 players invited to training camp and was part of the official roster announced Wednesday.

Brooks is one of five players who helped the Canadian U18 team finish second at the FIBA Americas Championship last year. The 6-foot-7 Brooks is from Mississauga, Ontario.

The team will play three exhibition games in Spain beginning Saturday. Canada opens the World Championships against Australia on June 27th followed by games against Tunisia and Italy.

Brooks averaged 11.5 points per game last season as a freshman and also had 4.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists per contest.
