Good energy for the Ducks so far, leading in rebounds, 16-12.

A 3 gives Oregon its biggest lead of the game, 13-9, 12:39 in the first half.

Arizona up by 3 with 32.2 left, Don MacLean: "If Arizona scores anymore, it will be harder for Stanford to win the game.".

I agree with the others so far. Lanning isn't going to turn Oregon into the SEC really West school. But he can come closer than any coach Oregon has ever had. He left Georgia to come to Oregon, that alone is something he can tell recruits. Oregon will have to produce to get the top talent to come to Oregon, so getting some of the talent that is visiting this weekend is going to be huge.

The current line is Oregon -1.

The madness in the college football season to me is that as soon as your team loses a game, it's out of the CFP. In basketball it helps to win your conference, you're automatically in, but if you play well, you can still make it to the Dance. The N0.1 seeds rarely comprise the Final 4, a 12 often beats a 5, and so on and so on. Parity does exist in college basketball. It's really not even desired by the powers that be in college football, ESPN, SEC, but even Paul Finebaum knows that expanding the Playoffs is needed to keep 95 % of the teams and fans interested.

Absolutely agree. "March Madness" is, has, always been my favorite sports time of the year, with Oregon involved or not. Many times, the Ducks have been there, so even better. The regular season of college basketball is great, the Bracketologist's start week 1. Sure, there are a group of teams always at the top. But they aren't always the same every year in the Final Four like in the CFP. Also, unlike football, there aren't a bunch of other games that nobody cares about before the championship starts. As soon as the conference season ends, the conference tournaments start, and then "March Madness" begins! I don't care who's playing, I can watch every game, and with the way they're scheduled on four different networks, you actually can watch almost every game!

Very good, he and Allen are quality targets for Herbert.

With Colorado playing it's first game tomorrow against the Ducks, it's good that the Ducks didn't have to expend a lot of energy in this one, opposed to Stanford who had to work a lot in their comeback win over ASU, and play No.1 Arizona tomorrow.

And yes, according to Don MacLean, "This game isn't over yet"

Thanks for this, good stuff!

I believe that post-season wins do count.
