The 2020–21 Oregon Ducks men's basketball team represented the University of Oregon during the 2020–21 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Ducks, led by 11th-year head coach Dana Altman, played their home games at Matthew Knight Arena as members of the Pac–12 Conference. They finished the season 21-7, 14-4 in Pac-12 Play to finish as regular season champions. They defeated Arizona State in the quarterfinals of the Pac-12 Tournament before losing in the semifinals to Oregon State. They received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament where they advanced to the Second Round due to a positive COVID-19 test from VCU.[1] They defeated Iowa in the Second Round to advance to the Sweet Sixteen where they lost to USC.

Previous season

The Ducks finished the season 24–7, 13–5 in Pac-12 play to win the regular season Pac-12 championship. They were set to take on rival Oregon State in the quarterfinals of the Pac-12 Tournament. However, the Pac-12 Tournament, along with all postseason tournaments, was cancelled amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
