The 2007–08 Oregon Ducks men's basketball team represented the University of Oregon in the college basketball season of 2007–08. The team was coached by Ernie Kent and played their home games at McArthur Court.

Previous season

The 2006–07 Oregon Ducks experienced what many would argue as one of their most memorable and successful seasons in school history. Freshman Tajuan Porter, who was not heavily recruited, along with senior and leader Aaron Brooks helped lead the Ducks to a successful season. They began their season by completing their non-conference schedule at a perfect 12–0, including a come-from-behind win at Rice and an important east-coast win at then ranked #19 Georgetown. The Ducks suffered their first loss of the season against USC but were able to bounce back and defeat then ranked #1 UCLA marking the second time in school history the Ducks had defeated a #1 Bruins team. Towards the end of the season Oregon suffered a streak in which they lost 6 of 8 games, the skid dropped the Ducks from #7 to #23 in the AP Poll. However the Ducks managed to bounce back, winning 9 games in a row, including a sweep of the Pac-10 Championship Tournament – in dominating fashion – first round wins over Miami University (Ohio), Winthrop University, and a Sweet Sixteen victory over UNLV. Their final game of the season was a 77–85 loss to eventual NCAA men's basketball tournament champions, Florida.

Pre-season

June 28 – Aaron Brooks was selected in the 2007 NBA draft as the 26th selection overall during the 1st round by the Houston Rockets.

July – Guard Tajuan Porter played on the United States' U19 team in the 2007 FIBA U19 World Championship. The tournament was played in Novi Sad, Serbia and the United States' team placed 2nd, suffering their first loss of the tournament to Serbia 69–74 in the championship game. Also, Forward Maarty Leunen played on the United States' Pan American Games team. The team place 5th in the tournament after a poor 3–2 final record in which the team lost the first two games.

November 1 – During the Pac-10's media day, the pre-season media poll picks the Ducks to finish third in the Pac-10.

Recruiting

The 2008 University of Oregon Men's Basketball Recruiting Class was selected by Scout.com as the 11th best recruiting class of 2008 and was selected by Rivals.com as the 11th best recruiting class of 2008 as well.
