Roster
Last update: February 8, 2016

Roster notes
  • January 5, 2016 – Freshman Trevor Manuel asked for release and will transfer.[2]
  • January 6, 2016 – Redshirt Senior Dylan Ennis to miss rest of the season due to a foot injury.[3]
  • March 16, 2016 – Oregon announced that the NCAA had awarded senior Chris Boucher an extra year of eligibility. In the Quebec educational system, students complete high school a year earlier than in the rest of North America, and normally attend a pre-university school known as a CEGEP. After Boucher's final year of high school in 2010–11, he did not academically qualify for CEGEP, and was out of school in 2011–12 before attending a prep school in Alma, Quebec for 2012–13 and playing 13 games in that season (considerably fewer that a typical U.S. prep school schedule). The NCAA initially treated the end of his final year of high school as his graduation date and his prep school year as his first year of college competition. Oregon applied for a waiver from the NCAA, citing serious family hardship during Boucher's high school years, the abbreviated nature of his prep school basketball season, and his satisfactory academic progress at Oregon.[4][5]
