Despite all that's gone on, I like that we're competing and I think we'll win 18-21 games this year.
 
It appears that 4 or 5 star recruits don't do well in Altman's system.
 
it appears someone is spending their golden years trolling a Ducks forum... sad

STOMP
 
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.
 
Its a case of old school vs. generation of entitlement.
 
Devoe Joseph scored 10 points and Olu Ashaolu had nine rebounds for the Ducks (7-3), who made just six of their first 30 shots.

That included 20 percent (5 of 25) in the first half -- the Ducks' worst of the season -- though they still led 21-18 at the break.

"We've got some work to do there," said Oregon coach Dana Altman, who also had plenty of praise for the Ducks' defensive efforts and their 20-for-22 performance from the free throw line.

"There were a lot of positives tonight. I think we took a step in the right direction."

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?

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?

"Our new guys are struggling a little bit," coach Dana Altman said. "They're having a tough time trying to find the rhythm. The guys who have been in the program here helped us survive."

Aided by three of Oregon's 18 turnovers, Prairie View cut the Ducks' lead to 68-64 with 4:46 remaining on consecutive three-pointers by Louis Munks. But the rally was halted when the Panthers failed to score for the next 4:07, while the Ducks made six free throws.

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. :)

Yeah I won't be surprised if the first place team in the Pac-12 has 4-5 conference losses this year.

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?
 
Nice sweep in the desert this weekend.

Where are our Beavis friends with all of their smack talk? :)
 
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!
 
Very important game this weekend for the Beavs. I hope we beat the hell out of you! :)

Is Craig Robinson on the hot seat there yet? The program is pretty stagnant at this point.

No not yet. I have questioned his coaching ability at times, but he can definitely recruit. I think we have more talent than the Duckies so I've been disappointed with the start to our year. A win in Eugene would go a long way toward fixing things though.

I have to admit I'm surprised.

Although, I talked to a couple of Beaver alums with very close ties to the program and Robinson is universally disliked by players and all else. Maybe the players have given up on him.

Like coach, like brother in-law?
 
I admit to not being the biggest Ducks BBall follower (although that is who I would say I root for in NCAAM)... is the Pac 12 Down a ton this year, or is Oregon that much better than expected?

It looks like it's a little of both, with the Pac 12 being really down this year, and the Ducks being a little better than people thought
 
gotcha thanks! Still not a bad deal :) Sounds like after initial disappointment that Altman is a hell of a coach! I'll have to check Matthew Knight Arena sometime. I remember going to a few games at the Pit which was a blast!
 
I watched Dominic Artis play for Findlay Prep play last night. He's going to be good. The next great Duck PG.
