With march madness' selection show taking place on March 17th, the Oregon ducks basketball team found themselves with the #11 seed. ESPN wrote about the ducks but had clear grammar errors and even roster issues, stating players that don't play there anymore.

Although this is true, it wasn't a full article like the claim made it out to seem; it's only a simple X post. They did make two mistakes in the two-sentence post, one being grammatical and one being misnaming a player, in short, they did make clear mistakes, but the headline makes it out to be much bigger than it was.
