EUGENE - Oregon puts its 4-0 record on the line in its first road game of 2006-07 when the Ducks travel to Houston to face Rice on Monday at 5:00 PM.

The Oregon Sports Network will broadcast the game live throughout the state of Oregon.

Fans may also watch the game online on the O-Zone.

A Brief Look at What to Watch For:

The Ducks make their first-ever visit to the Rice campus and their second trip overall to Houston.

20+ TOs. Oregon has forced the opposition into 20 or more turnovers three straight games.

Against UC Irvine, Chamberlain Oguchi -- a Houston native --made six three-pointers for the sixth time in the last 14 games, dating to last season.

JR G Bryce Taylor has recaptured his freshman year form.

Porter-rific! Freshman Tajuan Porter had a season-opening weekend for the record books, highlighted by his 38 points on 10 3-pointers Nov. 12th versus Portland State. He was named Dick Vitale’s national player of the week for his efforts.

Oregon also established a number of school and McArthur Court records in the Portland State win. See p. 4 for more.

Maarty Leunen’s 17 rebounds Nov. 11th versus Cal State Northridge was the most by a Duck in 17 seasons. Leunen opened the season with back-to-back double-doubles.

Five Ducks are scoring in double figures through the first four games.

Adam Zahn has played in 41 consecutive games, the longest such streak on the team.
