Tuned in occasionally. Every time I did, I couldn't keep it on because our pitching looked so atrocious. This against a team that has 6 wins. Make that 7 after spanking OBD.

OBD better be on their game tomorrow. In today's action #12 McNeese is routing #5 Clemson...up 40 to 18 midway through the 2nd half. Clemson is jacking up 3's like there is no tomorrow, which is what it's going to be for them! Classic 12 vs 5 matchup. Go Ducks!

Regarding how good Indiana is: They beat Purdue 73-58 down the stretch and would have finished on a 7 game win streak had they not lost to OBD twice:)

Wow, is Nate Bittle one of the best big men in the country? 36 points, 3 of 4 from beyond the arc, 7 of 8 from the free throw line, 12 rebounds. It's tournament time! AND, he may be back next year for a curtain call.

TJ = Turnover Jinxed. 5 turnovers and there is still plenty of time to get more. But, he is 3 for 9 on his shot attempts and O for 4 outside the arc. The man is a tour de force today! Oh, and he also has more fouls than anyone on the team. Jeez.

Easy to imagine the conversations taking place in the weight room: "What kind of NIL money did you get? How much? I'm gone!"

The impact of an athletic, high motor, play disrupting defensive line was on full display. I like to think that is where OBD are heading!

So, is it time for the Chiefs to go shopping for a new offensive coordinator? One bad game...

Don't forget T.J. Ward when mentioning Oregon's big hitters; perhaps the G.O.A.T. of Oregon defensive backs.

OBD are 25 and 3 with Will Stein as our offensive coordinator, with a perfect regular season and a Big Ten Championship. As a Duck fan since the Ice Age (over 50 years), with recollections of utter jubilation for winning the Independence Bowl over a 6 and 5 Tulsa team and memories of the infamous Toilet Bowl O to O tie with OSU, my reaction to complaining about Stein's abilities is...well, some things are better left unsaid, I guess.

Bamba is currently on a torrid pace of 1 for 8. He is 2 for 2 on his free throws. There is that. UPDATE: Well, now he is 4 for 12.

Time to focus on bringing in those OSU defectors!

With Carroll's passion for the game and Kelly's offensive ingenuity, I could root for the Raiders. Whoa, did I just write that? Somebody, anybody, take down the Chiefs, please!

Maybe Dana is keeping the bulk of the playbook under wraps. That would explain the appearance that this team doesn't appear to know how to run a play when the 3 ball isn't serving them well. When the Big Dance starts, Coach is going to hit our opponents with everything we have in our arsenal. 60 minutes of hell unleashed that catapults us back to the Final Four! Afternoon daydream is over. Time to wake up and get back to work!

Meh. Lost me for a while. Time to hit "Pause" on Dana ball.
