There is a lot of work to be completed for the Oregon men's basketball team, and little time to get it all done. The Oregon Ducks (5-3) will play their second game in five days when they welcome San Diego out of the West Coast Conference to Matthew Knight Arena on Wednesday night.

The Toreros will present a veteran basketball team who starts four seniors in their starting lineup, a balanced offense and defense, and a team who can play physical. They like to slow the tempo down and make the game a half-court game, something the Ducks have struggled with at times this season.

Ahead of that game, Oregon head basketball coach Dana Altman spoke with the media on Tuesday to preview the game while also reflect back on the team's 84-61 victory over visiting Nebraska-Omaha Saturday night at Matthew Knight Arena. In that game Saturday night, the Ducks saw the season debut of freshman and former five-star small forward Louis King.

King is currently on a minute restriction because of a knee injury suffered last January while competing for his high school basketball team.

"He practiced well yesterday, so it went good," Altman said of King's health and status for Wednesday's game. "I'll talk to Clay tonight and tomorrow and he'll let me know what direction and how many minutes."

In his first game with the Ducks, King finished with 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting, including three made three-pointers. King played 16 minutes off the bench for the Ducks.

Looking ahead toward Wednesday's game, Altman knows his team is going to be playing against a tough squad who will feel confident in their ability to play with the Ducks.

"When we scheduled the game we knew we were going to get a top 75 or a Top 50 team and they are," said Altman. "They scheduled us because they knew we were young and they have four senior starters.

"It was a great schedule for them, a good schedule for us. It's a tough game. We are going to have to play awfuly well. Wins over Colorado, San Diego State, had a chance to get Washington at Washington and Washington is a very experienced team."

The Toreros have played a tough non-conference schedule ahead West Coast Conference play this season. They fell 93-86 to Mississippi out of the SEC, beat Mountain West power San Diego State 73-61, and have double-digit wins vs teams like Weber State, UC-Davis, San Diego Christian, Jackson State, and CSU Northridge. Against Pac-12 opponents, San Diego beat Colorado 70-64 and lost at Washington 66-63.

The Ducks and the Toreros will play at 7 p.m. PT on Wednesday, December 12th and the game will be played at Matthew Knight Arena. The game can be seen on the Pac-12 Networks.
