But according to Oregon football coach Dan Lanning, Oregon fans will always have an opportunity to watch the Ducks inside Autzen Stadium on a sunny day in late April as long as he is the coach in Eugene.

As long as Dan Lanning is at Oregon the Ducks will play real football during their spring game. While the growing trend nationally has been for teams to abandon spring games in favor of traditional practices or fan-centric events,

Games have been a hot topic of discussion in college football to start 2025. Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule got fans talking a lot about them in February when he elected to cancel Nebraska's annual Spring Game in April.

Oregon's TJ Bamba revealed after the game that the Ducks were given motivation from IU coach Mike Woodson before their Big Ten tournament game.

The Ducks and Hoosiers last met on March 4, and Oregon defended their home arena with a 73-64 victory. Jackson Shelstad led the Ducks with 17 points, while Nate Bittle boasted a strong defensive game, dropping 14 points while collecting a steal, four blocks, and seven rebounds.
