Agreed, on O he's better at being fed the ball down low than trying to create his own shots dribbling which is what has been going on with him lately. I really liked his game at Stanford, felt like they got him the ball as he was heading towards the basket l. Evans was more productive when he was starting, learning to come off the bench is not easy for a guy who probably never had to do that in highschool.

He shoots 32% from 3, I'd prefer him down low trying to rebound. If he's wide open sure but even then he shouldn't be that far away from the basket most the time.

It's time for that late season run going into the tournament!

Evans wants his starting position back. When he comes out with energy he's tough to stop on both sides of the floor and Angel can be good but I haven't seen much energy from him lately. When Evan stays in his Lane and isn't out shooting 3's he can be more dynamic in the rebounding game. For that matter, there's only three people on this team. I want to see shooting threes Shelstad, Bartholomew, and Tracy everyone else is better off rebounding.

So that's what I get for giving up and going plowing snow. Granted The snow is not going to plow itself but it looks like I missed a really good half of basketball. Go Ducks! Let me guess they stopped jacking threes and started going down low with the ball.

Pretty typical for this team, as soon as they get behind they just start jacking threes right and left without moving the ball without throwing it inside or going to the rim. Evans had good energy down low, feed him already. If Oregon doesn't take another 3 this game they have a chance to win.

No Hussle at all the second half. the Ducks looked like they where wearing cement boots on both sides of the court.

Oregon just stood around in the second half and didn't run any offense, really lucky to pull off the win.

Bamba and Bittle with poor shots and now they're on the bench. Moving the ball and getting open looks, so far so good.

I really don't like it when they just sit outside and huck up 3s with very little ball movement. Just get the back down low to Bittle then when the double comes pass it b to Evens for the easy bucket.

If Bamba starts scoring like he's capable of this team will be really hard to stop.

If your not on one of the teams or officiating crew you have no business being on the field.

Ducks up 31 to 30 at the half, need to get some more rebound and this game is theirs.

He could have made a big difference this year.

They all have things in common: poor line play, which requires a lot of timing element and assignment which always get better over the season. Turning it on at game speed is easier said than done after a long time off. Ball security and dropped passes, In practice the DB and LB aren't trying to level you and pound you into the ground and that's something that takes a few hits to get back into the game. Killer instinct or lack there of, from the body language of the teams you could tell that the team that won last week had much more confidence.

Now up to 53.6 % 15-28 from 3, extremely hard to beat a team that just can't miss.

Hard to stop a team shooting 50% from 3.

The D-line that was getting pressure in the first game against more or less the same guys was getting pushed back on their heels in the second game. The main difference I see is the amount of time off Oregon had. Had we had a lesser opponent for our first game to warm up I believe this game would have been a lot different. How many no-shows has there been in bowl games over the years, too many to count. Starting off with one of if not the best teams in the playoff after they had a warm up game doesn't bode well for OBD. This is why in the NFL many teams play their starters in games that really don't have any impact in playoff standing. They play the week after their final games and coaches still don't like to rest their players for one week unless they are true veterans. Remember these are still young adults and are easily distracted by the holidays, women, partying, etc.

I have to agree with Mike on this one DB's and safeties were not up to snuff and definitely not at the level we're used to having. I can barely recall a single time this year where a safety was in position to make a play on a top receiver down the field. In years past we always had a game changer at safety and there were no faster than the guys we have now.

Boettcher was a walkon I believe and his development over the last 2 years was nothing short of amazing. What we're really missing is a bunch of five star LBs and DBs that can compete with the talent of the five-star WRs and RBs we we're facing.

The only thing I see missing is Shelstad hitting more threes, for some reason he's been in a little bit of a slump this year. Tracy and Bartholomew are shooting amazing from outside but need some help from the other guards along with Evans and Bittle not shooting anymore threes. That's the only glaring weakness of this team that I see and I'm sure that'll just get better. Looking forward to the exciting year of men's basketball.

Unbelievable, the guy was literally knocked out.

How is it that Dilly didn't get coach of the year? Taking half the talent and going up against the big boy SEC to the end.

If you look at the stats to this game you would think Arizona State was ahead by two TDs.

What a great game! Dilly Dilly!
