American college basketball season March 2026 August 2023 Basketball 2008–09 Oregon Ducks Oregon Ducks logo.svg 125px Pacific-10 Conference Pac-10 8–23 2–16 Ernie Kent Mark Hudson Kenny Payne McArthur Court The 2008–09 Oregon Ducks men's basketball team represented the University of Oregon in the college basketball season of 2008–09. The team was coached by Ernie Kent and played their home games at McArthur Court. The season came to an end on March 11, 2009, when the Ducks lost to Washington State in the first round of the Pac-10 tournament at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, 62–40. There were speculations that coach Ernie Kent would be fired after the season, however, he was retained as head coach. Oregon's miserable 8–23 overall record and 2–17 record vs Pac 10 opponents remains widely regarded as the worst season in Oregon men's basketball history.
