The Ducks are ranked No. 5 in the country in the coaches poll - the highest preseason ranking in team history. Oregon junior guard Dillon Brooks was named to The Associated Press' preseason All-America team, the first such selection in program history.

Oregon will play their first game of the 2016-17 season on Friday when then host Army.
