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:)

Bittle's Career Day Powers Oregon over Washington 80-73 in OT
Chas Man replied to 30Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
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!"

Can Jeremiah Smith Inspire Jurrion Dickey?
Chas Man replied to candyduck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
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.

Oregon Misses Their Shot at a Win, Lose at Michigan 80-76.
Chas Man replied to 30Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
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. -
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.

3 for 16 from beyond the arc in the first half. Dana, are you coaching these guys?

Does Oregon’s Defense Need to Change for 2025?
Chas Man replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Well, according to this very basic metric referred to as "Stop Rate", OBD have to find a way to do better, and that usually entails change. According to an ESPN article, here is an overview of the "stop rate" measurement: What is stop rate? It's a basic measurement of success: the percentage of a defense's drives that end in punts, turnovers or a turnover on downs. Defensive coordinators have the same goal regardless of their scheme, opponent or conference: prevent points and get off the field. Stop rate is a simple metric but can offer a good reflection of a defense's effectiveness on a per-drive basis in today's faster-tempo game. Great teams find a way to get stops in critical moments. The national champion Buckeyes earned their No. 1 finish by achieving a stop rate of 78.5%. (#1 on the stop rate list) That's a mighty impressive percentage considering their defense had to endure a four-game College Football Playoff run and a 16-game schedule that featured six top-5 opponents. OBD? They were 32nd on the list! We were just not very good at getting the D off the field. Not good enough to take us to the promised land IMHO.
