Ducks jumped 5 more spots in the new AP poll, up to 16th, one spot ahead of Altman's former haunt.

I'm starting to get the feeling that we may be looking for a new head basketball coach this spring.

Why? A new arena, great facilities and Uncle Phil. UO is a comfy place for a guy like Altman.

"A guy like Altman"? What exactly do you mean by that? Do you think that he doesn't have the chops or desire to be a big-time coach at a big time program?

IMO, if the ducks approach 30 wins this season (which is absolutely not outside the realm of reason), Altman is going to be a highly desirable commodity. If there are any decent openings, I would not be shocked to see him jump.

Nothing about the guy shows signs to me that he has a desire to just keep going from job to job around the country. Sometimes when you have something good you just let it ride out. He reminds me of Mark Few in that sense. I could be wrong.

Yeah, I think Zags was actually complimenting Altman. A guy who stayed at Creighton for a long time before moving to Oregon. I just don't see him as a job hunter, just like Mark Few has resisted even the allure of returning to Eugene.

PapaG and MickZagger seeing eye-to-eye? Wow, Altman really is a miracle worker!

Kum-Bah-Yah, my Lord...Kum-Bah-Yah... :wub:
 
Decent win tonight. Trying to get more into College B-Ball, it just clicked that I could catch the game on Pac12 net
 
Bad week for ranked teams, which makes it a good week for the Ducks' ranking. #15 New Mexico lost yesterday; #13 Michigan State lost today; #12 Minnesota lost twice this week, as did #11 Kansas St; and #9 Butler dropped a game earlier this week to LaSalle. I think Oregon will get all the way up to #11, possibly even to #10 if the pollsters decide to drop Arizona down below the Ducks (as they should).
 
2 straight losses against unranked teams, pretty rough.

This season sure died hard and fast.

I don't think it's over yet, by any means. Ducks are still ranked in the AP top 25, still tied atop the conference standings (with the tie-breaker), and are probably a lock for the tourney assuming they don't completely tank the final two weeks of their season. I'm quite pleased with the way have gone so far this year.
 
Artis potentially will play vs OSU. Will be good to have him back for Pac 12 Tourney, and Big Dance.
 
Tough break for the Ducks. Heard they got whalloped by Colorado

Pretty much means a split Pac-12 title between UCLA and Oregon. That should make the Buffaloes a lock for the tournament though.
 
Ducks are getting badly out-physicaled by the Dawgs tonight. If they don't figure out a way to up their intensity in these final 8 minutes, they're going to lose their first tourney game.

I think they're going to be lucky to get a single-digit seed in the big dance.
 
def a hard fought game On ESPNU if you anyone is looking for the channel
 
I can't stand Jonathon Loyd.
 
Kazemi to the rescue in OT. Utah tomorrow. Wish I could feel confident about that one.
 
I came home with 4 minutes to go in regulation. Wish I came home about 20 minutes later. UW cannot finish games and I think I'm finally on the fire Romar bandwagon.

Good luck against Utah. Pac 10 > Pac 12 any day of the week!

I've never thought of Romar as a good coach. Great recruiter, not a good coach.

Plus, he's a pussy for bailing out on the Gonzaga series.
 
Congrats to the Ducks. Best game they have played in awhile.

Be interesting to see what happens with the Tourney.
