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!

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.

Anthony Brown "succeeded" last season. 10-4 record, beat Ohio St., led the Pac-12 in total offense, 3,647. Another Oregon quarterback led the Pac-12 in total offense in 2014, Marcus Mariota, 5,224, and won the Heisman.

In 1974, North Carolina State won the NCAA Tournament, the next year they declined a NIT invitation. I can see that. If Oregon is invited to the NIT, I'd rather they accept, there will probably be a couple more Pac-12 teams that will be invited.

At least this won't make Oregon 0-4 in games decided in the last possession.

And yes, Don MacLean just told us that Oregon can't trade baskets with Washington, they need to get some stops.
