A great pass from Paopao inside to Prince for the last two points of the quarter was the highlight of the game so far

From Portland? This could be huge! Way back, Richard Washington, from Benson High went to UCLA, Danny Ainge from North Eugene, went to BYU. EJ Singler from Medford did come to Oregon, but his big brother, Kyle, went to Duke. Fred Jones, was born in Arkansas, but moved to Oregon and did attend hifg school in Oregon, and of course, Luke Jackson. So, some Oregon high schoolers have come to Oregon, but let's start getting more of them!

There were signs of Offensive Coordinator Disorder

Was Mastro ever The OC?

Sabally just needs to keep doing what she's doing, the rest of the team definitely needs to bounce back from their tepid performance at Arizona.

Absolutely, while the Pac-12 has been as active as clay, the SEC has gotten where it is by an organized, driven effort to get there. "It means more" isn't just a slogan. The Presidents of the SEC schools all want to see their teams in the top 25.

Was Leavitt the only Coordinator to stay at Oregon for more than a season?

When he's right, he's right, If Oregon's "small" team is hitting their shots, the Ducks can beat anybody. If the shots stop falling, like what happened against Colorado in the second half at home, they'll lose. As imposing a presence as Kepnang is, he isn't a great defensive presence, he can block shots, but usually on fast breaks, and often with a foul. Dante leads the team in field goal %, but is near the bottom on attempts, because it's still not a good plan to feed him the ball inside so he can work for a basket. Last night was good and bad for Oregon. The Ducks and Bruins are now in a tie for second place at 8-3, with Oregon holding the tie-breaker for now. Washington, who was destroyed by Oregon, and WSU, who beat Oregon, are in third place, at 7-3. So, now the Ducks are in 2nd place, but the win over UCLA has lost some of its luster. Oregon is home for games against Cal and Stanford, who beat Oregon, then a make-up game at home against WSU. After that it's on the road, first at ASU, then a game at Arizona, followed by home games against UCLA and USC, then the conference season wraps up on the road at Washington and WSU.

Fortunately, the best free throw shooting team in the conference was off, and the next to worst was hot. Utah, 15-23 65,2%, Oregon, 9-10, 90.0%

Two free throw attempts for Oregon, 11 for Utah.

As they say on TV, "The Utes aren't going away, Ducks lead down to 6, 50-44. 13:30 second half.

Second half on FS1.

Ducks dominating the boards, 22-10, lead at half, 43-31.

Two offensive fouls on the Ducks only thing stopping them on a 3 minute, 10-0 run.

A pair of free throws by Dante gives the Ducks the biggest lead of the game, at 20-16. Now 20-18.

Well, Dave Miller is back on the call, at least he's never coached at Utah,

When you get down to it, I think you're right, Student-Athlete was a trope that had been largely dismissed a long time ago. Now the curtain has been pulled. It's jarring now, but i feel like it will be pulled together in some order. College sports will never be the same. I wish that music still came out on vinyl.

That is definitely what it looks like. I have no doubt that having a plan and working at it, is why all of a sudden it turned out that you could recruit to Oregon.

This is a mess. Check on Fox Business to start at 5:30, but my Comcast TV listings does have the game starting at 6:30 on FS1. So, who knows?
