I don't think any of you were sweating the Nebraska situation (cause it makes no sense to go there over Oregon), but he's stated that he's staying put.

Wasn't sure where to post this, but for the next 3 years the Pac-12 tourney to be in Las Vegas at the MGM. No more empty Staples Center! This is a great move by the league.

Good luck tonight! Hopefully all the NIT Pac-12 schools decide to show up and put forth a good effort.

I like this move. It's fairly centrally located and a vacation destination as well.

Great idea.

Caught a bit of Dominic Artis today on ESPN2. Let's just say the PG spot is in good hands for at least one year, depending on how good he really is next season. Kid is the real deal. Hopefully he can convince Anthony Bennett to come to UO as well.

 

[santeesioux]

So... anything new about Anthony Bennett?

Wow, that would be a huge get for the Ducks program. Altman is a good coach and he's showing he's got some recruiting chops as well.

Yeah, I've been impressed.

Bennett to UNLV.

Bennett to UNLV.

OK, less impressed.

What's going on with the basketball team? Another from last year's class is leaving (Kingma). You guys were a lot better than most expected and that was w/o your top recruits. I thought your team was mostly made up of upper classmen, and I'd think seniors leaving would have opened up more PT for him.

Dez Wells chooses Maryland over Oregon

Dick Vitale ‏@DickieV
Joy at Maryland today as Dez Wells has selected the Terps over Oregon - Memphis - Kentucky. Will NCAA approve a waiver request to play now?

Nice to get a 'big'.

 

[MickZagger]

Bells supposed to be a good coup. I hope he turns out better than their last highly touted big man. What is Dunigan up to these days anyways?

How is this thread not blowing up after last night?

Oregon beat previously unbeaten and 4th ranked Arizona. Bill Walton calling the game.....It was incredible

 

[Ghost Pepper]

It was a nice win!

 

[tlongII]

I'm sad to say that I watched it. Much better than the Beavs game last night.

Other Duck boards get a lot more action. I think this board is just a secondary place to shoot the shit about the Ducks with fellow Blazer fans.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Anyone else excited about the fact that the Ducks are actually ranked in the AP poll for the first time since...Hell, I have no idea...

Since the Tajuan Porter/Ian Crosswhite daze?

 

[PapaG]

A 9 point win at UCLA.

16-2
5-0

Keep it up and the Ducks will be dancing for the first time in 5 years!

More like the Bryce Taylor/Malik Hairston/Marty Luenen/Tajuan Porter 'daze'.

Crosswhite never played with Porter.

 

[MickZagger]

Chris Christofferson/Robert Johnson daze.

I would argue that this road win over UCLA is more impressive than their home win over Arizona. Ducks should be favored in every remaining game on their schedule. Is it unreasonable to think that this Duck team could go 11-2 the rest of the way and finish the regular season 27-4?

Probably, but with 3 wins already on the road, I don't think that 24-7 heading into the Pac-12 tournament is unreasonable. I hope you're right, though!

24-7 with wins against @UNLV, @ UCLA, and at home against Arizona (and ASU??) would be worth a seed from 3-5 in the NCAA tournament in whatever regional the Ducks are placed in this year.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

That was a really great win at UCLA. This team may win 25 and be a pretty high seed.

you see them going just 8-5 the rest of the way, with Colorado being their toughest remaining opponent?

Come on man--buy in!!

Sorry, but I for one can't buy in - all my Chips are already gone.
