Also, I’m impressed with how much her defense has improved this year, almost the same as Pritchard’s. They came to Oregon the same year and both have rings.

As I recall, Lombardi was the pitching coach at Oklahoma - go figure.

Not so troublesome - he never seemed to be a serious competitor. Wishing him the best with his interest in photography, though.

The juice is now the head coach at TCU, who is a #2 seed in the playoffs. He was mainly the one who landed Ionescu, Sabally and Hebard in Eugene. Among his current players are ex-Ducks Sedona Prince, Taylor Bigby and Maddie Scherr. The coaching staff is 80% ex-Oregon assistants.

The only concern for me about Oregon going deep in the playoffs is Bittle’s backup. He doesn’t get many minutes but could be a huge problem versus major competition, especially if Nate’s in foul trouble. He’s appears to be a hardworking teammate, but I can’t see the necessary upside.

Embarrassing - no team leader, little basketball IQ, no physicality to speak of.

Beginning next season Oregon must become Big Ten physical - very embarrassing.

As neighborhood kids in the 50’s we’d sneak up to the back entrance about a half hour before tipoff and Jungle Jim Loscutoff would often let us in smiling, “don’t tell anyone!”

Love our locals. Bittle and Shelstad, Any other kids around the state we could be looking for the next year or two?

Gabriel must rush 40-50 yards for us to win, not just off broken plays but designed. His true talent in that category has not yet been revealed. Not a time to be shy. Risk everything. I think Stein has been waiting for this approach all season just for the right time. Heck, maybe 60-70 yards!
