Oregon's McArthur Court, which opened in 1927, will host its final men's basketball game on Saturday night when the Ducks play Arizona State.

The Ducks lost 76-57 to Arizona in their Pac-10 opener on Thursday night. That was supposed to be the first game at Matthew Knight Arena, but it was decided in August that it would be best to delay the opening of the new building because students would still be on winter break and Oregon's football team might be in a bowl.

The second-ranked Ducks are playing in the BCS championship game against No. 1 Auburn on Jan. 10 in Glendale, Ariz.

Oregon basketball's new home hosts its first game on Jan. 13, against USC.

Mac Court, as it is known, is the second-oldest on-campus arena in Division I, two years younger than Fordham's Rose Hill Gym.
