Oregon Ducks 2024! (5 Viewers)

[THE HCP]

Oh, how I wish that were true. So many disappointments from my daughters being excited to have a female coach.

I think we've found 1 or 2 good female coaches in 8 years of looking... And a lot of very good guy coaches. It has been a shocking and sobering experience. I will say, one of their absolute favorite coaches is a woman.

Maybe our experience is skewed though. I hope that's the case...

My daughter has never played for a Female head coach. Each case is different, but I wonder how that would have gone. Our only negative coaching situation in all her years was with a female assistant. That sucked. Luckily the head coach loved her.

the article says the total payout will be north of 1.3B annually starting in 2026

"Big Ten schools will see their annual distribution triple if not quadruple into the low $20 million range."

Ducks upset #6 Arizona in the Pac-12 tournament. Still need to win the next game to get the auto bid to March Madness

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

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.

That Arizona team can beat anyone in the country, but they can also lose to about 50 teams in the country on any given night.

Curious to see how Oregon, basically playing 6 guys, two of which are injured, handles their 3rd game in as many nights against a really tough Colorado squad.

I can't even keep track of who is injured. It's easier to keep track of who isn't...don't even need a 2nd hand

Oregon won't get to March Madness without a win tonight, IMO

Their shooting is so inconsistent. Defense is always solid and Dante always strong but if they don't make threes, they will lose. If they make them, probably win.

Hopefully we Get a good look at the Blazers possible 1st pick Williams...

That describes about all teams in the top 25 this year. Weird year

I watched Colorado for the first time last night, just to see Williams. I am guessing he is being drafted on potential, because what I saw, in my unprofessional opinion, was not impressive. I was hoping to see someone who would come in and contribute right away, and nothing about his game jumped out to me. Curious what is it about him that has him so high?

he appears to be a wing with good length who can shoot from the perimeter. Wings with length who can shoot are NBA catnip

I will be interesting in watching him again tonight. He didn't show off any shooting last night. That is what I was curious about.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Wow, how did the Ducks make it this far?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I was wrong about Oregon victory depending on them making shots. They hit only 2 of 17 threes, most fairly open shots but Dante shot 12 for 12 close in and Ducks hadonly 3 turnovers to CO 13

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Dante also blocked a three point attempt late and then somehow kept it inbounds with a leap out of bounds.

 

[MickZagger]

Give it up to Nfali Dante. I’ve been his biggest critic but he showed up when it was needed most. Great character. I’m sure Altman would say this trip was the sweetest

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Rest of the team besides Dante shot 32% for the game.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

BTW, I would say that OR had the least fan support of any of the last four teams.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Cody Williams was a complete non-factor; he hasn't even been starting for them.

Yeah it weird. Makes me wonder if he has motivation issues

 

[SlyPokerDog]

FUCKING CRAZY THE DUCKS WON THE PAC 12.

Go Ducks!!
