To quote an earlier post: No Duarte is a killer...

I watched a WA girls basketball playoff game a couple of years ago and they were perfect from the line. Something like 23 for 23. How is that even possible? Lady Ducks shot 53 percent from the line last night. How is that even possible?

I took my daughter to watch Oregon play Stanford for the Pac-12 Championship in Seattle in 2018. That team exuded confidence, discipline, & execution in all phases of the game--including an assassin like ability to knock down free throws from the top to the bottom of their line-up. After the game we went out for a late dinner and were surprised to see Coach Graves a few tables away from us. I remember thinking how fortunate we were to have him. It was truly painful to watch his press conference after last night's game, on his birthday no less. Hoping this team can turn that pain into gain and get back to the standard set by that team.

I would not be surprised to see Shough transfer. The last 2 games of the season were a huge vote of "No Confidence" in his future as the Duck's signal caller. The only question seems to be whether or not he sees himself as the starting quarterback and is willing to transfer to make that a possibility.
