Oregon coach Dana Altman will get his first look and his rebuilt roster when the Ducks play three men’s basketball games in Canada between Aug. 8-11.

Altman brought in 10 new players during the offseason – eight transfers and two freshmen – to join lone returner Sean Stewart and a pair of returning walk-ons.

The Ducks will open their exhibition run Saturday with a game against Fraser Valley in Abbotsford, B.C., followed by Trinity Western on Sunday in Langley, B.C. and then Thompson Rivers on Tuesday in Vancouver.
