The first round of March Madness starts today (official bracket). Oregon is one of five Pac-12 teams selected for the NCAA men’s basketball tournament. Unfortunately for the Ducks, they are the lowest seeded Pac-12 team in the tournament. On a positive note, Oregon will play Oklahoma State in San Jose. I think there will be a lot more Ducks fans than Cowboys fans at the game this Thursday.
Don’t forget to enter our March Madness contest. Pick the winning team and you could win a $250 gift card. If your team doesn’t win it all, you can still win a collegiate sweatshirt of your choice (Oregon State, Oregon, Washington, or Washington State). Remember, you can increase your chances of winning by entering once a day. To enter our March Madness contest, just print out the entry form (pdf) and take it to a Parr Lumber or Parr Cabinet Design Center near you (store locator). Entry forms are also available at our stores. The last day to enter the contest is April 5, 2013. If you need help picking a team, check out the seeding list below.
