I watched the entire game. Oregon kept it close for a half, and then got blown out in the second half. They did get it to within 6-7 with a lot of time left in the game. Had they hit the front end of 1 and 1's late in the second half, they could have pulled it out with some breaks
Ahhhhh, the unpredictability of early season college basketball. #7 Vanderbilt goes down today against Cleveland St.
The first half was close, and the Ducks had the lead for much of it. Turnovers and missed FTs allowed Vandy to put together a short burst that upped the lead to 20. Right after that, the Ducks closed back to 6, but ran out of steam as Vandy kept hitting 3s. Jabari Brown should be ... interesting. From what I saw Friday, he doesn't have the elite athleticism that he was supposed to have. Actually, he reminded me of a slightly taller version, but less athletic, of Bryce Taylor.
Yeah, I was impressed with Kingma. Wasn't wetting his shorts like some of the older transfers were, either.
Here's a little sample of Duck signee Dominic Artis: [video=youtube;8osJWTKeBoQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8osJWTKeBoQ&feature=related[/video]
Bad weekend for both our teams (atctually alll four if you include football). We get blown out @ Saint Louis and Brown leaves the ducks. Anyone have anymore info that the Oregon live article? http://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/index.ssf/2011/11/oregon_guard_jabari_brown_leav.html
Reportedly, Bruce Barron has left the program: http://www.addictedtoquack.com/2011...cks?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter "BEFORE OREGON Played prep basketball at Brehm Preparatory School in Carbondale, Ill. … Led AAU basketball team (Illinois Titans) to a national title in 2009, averaging 18 points per game in the senior national tournament … Chose Oregon over Oklahoma State, Marquette and Indiana … Also played AAU basketball for the Mac Irvin Fire." http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=500&ATCLID=205185496
I dunno, but it SUCKS. Chatted with a donor/friend who said the AD announced this yesterday too. So, it is official. If anyone has more insight, love to hear it.
Heres part of the Barron story. It still doesn't disclose any new information. http://www.registerguard.com/web/sports/27250482-41/loyd-utep-ducks-oregon-altman.html.csp
