FUCKING CRAZY THE DUCKS WON THE PAC 12.

ESPN now projects them as an 11 seed. I bet they're going to be a trendy upset pick.

It'll probably happen eventually, but Altman hasn't lost a first round NCAA, NIT, CBI, or P12 game during his entire tenure at Oregon. That's wild.

Good coaching is so critical.

Not shockingly, there are a bunch of people on the Oregon message boards that wanted Altman fired all season.

That's insane. He's shown for years that he gets the most out of his guys.

 

[Hoopguru]

Great to see Phil & fam attend those games.

 

[MickZagger]

His recruiting really took a hit when he lost that guy to DePaul.

Also, the Ducks have kind of struggled to recruit “go to” scorers over the years

Altman (and staff) used to be one of the few programs that knew how to get and use transfers. Then NIL and the transfer portal became a thing and I'm not sure they've found their groove.

I'll be very surprised if Stubblefield (DePaul) isn't back on Oregon's bench next year. He was running around on the floor/locker room celebrating with the team the last two nights.

I don't know the details of Oregon's NIL program(s), but I have got the impression it's been heavily slanted toward football. I suspect that with limited NIL budgets, the one-&-done rule for basketball makes it seem like a poor investment

I hope that the aperture of some trickle-down NIL economics will be directing more money to the basketball programs in the future

but more than that, I want to know what the Fk is going on with the Track & Field programs. Oregon used to dominate the Pac-12 and win national championships; they have the premier dedicated T&F facility in the nation. But their T&F teams hardly even register notice nationally any more. I can't believe Phil Knight is OK with this.

New coach in 2022?

Robert Johnson certainly brought championships to Eugene, but he seemed to have lost his touch the last 2-3 seasons he was in charge, especially for the women and sprints. I'm still now sure why the UofO essentially fired him though

losing the husband/wife team Powell's to the UofW certainly hurt

I've heard the same thing about Oregon's NIL. It's very heavy football and Ducks Rising also supports baseball, but not basketball.

No clue what the deal with the track program is. I can't imagine Phil would be thrilled about it either.

First, I can't believe I actually turned on the Men's basketball tournament game against Arizona. It was the usual torture, Ducks 1 for 12 on threes in the first half, down by as much as 15 when Dante went out with an injury (he does not have a high tolerance for pain), Ariz had 28 FTA at one time to Oregon 8. OR bench somehow got a technical at crucial part of the game and lost two points.
Second, cannot believe OR won and will have a chance tomorrow to play their way into the NCAAs. Dante came back, played great defense. Shelsted and Cousinard made some shots and Ducks won. Arizona does not look like a team that can go far in the tournment. Caleb Love did not look good.

Dante, has definitely been snakebite by injuries in his career but to say N’Faly doesn’t have a high tolerance for pain? 7 foot 250 lb players struggle coming back from lower leg injuries. Dude was a warrior this tournament. To take that nasty fall and have to go for X-Rays and come back and will his team to win on stellar efforts screams someone with a high pain tolerance willing to sacrifice everything for his team! Go Ducks! They can make some noise and reach the Sweet 16 with their bracket!

No. 11 seed Oregon (23-11) will play No. 6 seed South Carolina (26-7) at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh on Thursday, March 21 at approximately 1 p.m. PT with a live broadcast on TNT.

To be clear, I didn't say that females were automatically perfect coaches. I said, the perfect WBB coach would be female. Male coaches can be fantastic as well.

I feel the same way about male sports broadcasting. Men make the perfect announcers for men's sports. Unfortunately there was some kind of vagina mandate and now women are increasingly being heard with high pitched voices coming through the tv.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

DAMN THAT DUNK WAS NASTY!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

FUCK!

OT

GO DUCKS!

 

[Natebishop3]

This is why college hoops annoys the shit out of me. Dumb mistakes. Why the hell would you wait to attack until 5 seconds?

 

[Cugel]

Ducks got fucked. ONE free throw all goddam game. How is that possible?

 

[Natebishop3]

They have no offense….. it’s just iso ball. Too bad they don’t have Dame.

 

[Natebishop3]

Maybe they do have Dame lol

 

[SlyPokerDog]

DOUBLE OT!

CRAZY GAME!

 

[Natebishop3]

That was a travel. It looked like he just lost it.

 

[Natebishop3]

The Ducks entire offense is just one dude. No plays. No passing. No movement. Just one man and a basketball.

I wondered where Stotts was coaching at.
