tlongII is mostly right in my books. Something is going on and the Duck players are unhappy with their roles, coaching, style of offensive, etc.
Wow, this sounds like the Ducks worser version of when the Beavers lost to the Idaho Vandals a few weeks back. How does 20 for 22 from the free throw line sound good when they had other things going on wrong in the first half? The Ducks better beat the Prairie-View-panthers by 20+ next.
Winning by 13 points against NCCU is the same thing as losing to Idaho by 14? What the fuck are you babbling about? You realize Oregon won the game, right?
Hard to tell. I'll take a 13 point win against anyone, considering the defections earlier this season.
I meant the horrible first half that the Ducks had. Now the Ducks have 18 turnovers vs the 74 - 66 win over the 4-8 Prairie View? The Ducks sure have to figure out their offensive rhythm for the Pac -12 since they are still out of sync and need to have more assists.
I was under no illusions of the basketball team being anything of than middle-of-the-Pac 12. As bad as the Pac is this year, it wouldn't surprise me if OS is the best team in the league, and Oregon still in the top 5. I think the Big Sky conference is about the Pac-12's equal this season.
I think Stanford, the Beavers, and Cal will be fighting it out for the 13-5 #1 seed in the Pac-12 tournament. UW probably is better than their record, and Oregon is probably worse than theirs. How did the Pac get so bad at hoops?
Altman can flat out coach. Once he finds the right formula for recruiting studs and keeping them, the Ducks will have a very bright future
Very nice comeback win against UCLA today. 6-2 at this point of the conference season is a big surprise to me. If the Ducks can take care of business at home against OS, and handle a Utah team that they should beat, they would be 8-2 going into the game at CU. 6-4 down the stretch would put the Ducks at 21-9/12-6 Pac-12. Win a game in the Pac-12 tourney, and the Ducks would be a bubble team. It's been quite some time since UO has even been in this position coming into the last 3rd of the season. Well done by Altman, regardless of what happens over the next 5 weeks!
