Utah got 5 free throws, and the ball.

No foul when Rogers hits the floor, Utah players misses lay- up foul on Oregon. Just sayin'

Oregon scored 25 points in the first quarter, 20 in the second and third combined.

Sabally back in.

The Utes start out with a 7-2 lead, but the Lady Ducks end the quarter on a 23-7 run.

Last night the pre-game picker that picked Oregon to beat UCLA picked them to beat Utah, and the one that picked UCLA to beat Oregon, picked Utah to beat Oregon. We're set!

Oh man!!! You are so right!!! I've never stopped seeing those "things of beauty" in my mind.

Yes, the NCAA banned dunking prior to the 1966-67 season and the rule stayed in place until before the '76-77 season. So, no Walton, and even worse, we were denied Ronnie Lee dunks!

Oregon target Nico Iamaleava Jr. draws comparisons to Justin Herbert DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Nico Iamaleava Jr., a big-time Ducks’ target, is drawing comparisons to Justin Herbert. That’s not something that should...

It makes no sense at all. The Ducks actually did blow out the Huskies, by 28 points, 84-56, the Purple Dregs had 13 points at halftime. This Blowout was by 11 points, but like the chill factor it felt much worse. How does a team, fighting for 4th place, an NCAA bid play like that? Well, how did they lose to Cal. They lose at home to Colorado, but finally win at Colorado? They lose twice to ASU, but come within the last second of sweeping the Bruins and Trojans?

Far from convincing you otherwise, I can't agree enough. I was with you in the Pit for the LW game, and like you it's one of the rare games where I was rooting against Bill. He is the most dominant player I've ever seen. In the championship game in '73 against Memphis he made 21-22 shots. He could have scored a lot more points, but he wasn't about scoring, he was about winning. Whenever he discusses the Trail Blazers championship, he mentions the contributions of all the other players, not his, including the 4-0 sweep of the Kareem led Lakers in the Western Division Championship Round. That was a dynasty in Portland if not for the injuries.

He sure would have helped last night. I don't mind learning about archipelagoes during a basketball game

In the philosophical ethos one can only appreciate joy if they have endured torture thus this 2021-22 season has served a purpose, and I actually blame Jay Bilas, it was after he praised Oregon that they were blown out by Cal.
