Wood Duck

I'll never forget that travesty either. They deserved that beat down. OBD would have given Miami a much better game IMHO.

I remember OBD going to Nebraska in the 80's and just getting pounded, coming home battered, bruised and dejected. I'm sooo glad those days are over!

Fire is the right description!

I love 'em!

"Trust the process!"

That was a fun game to watch. Poor free throw shooting and too many offensive rebounds doomed the Ducks. They didn't lay down, though. Fought hard to the end. 25 wins is nothing to cry about!

The defense has been really impacted by the loss of Mevius. Not to mention the crazy number of missed opportunities at the rim.

Watching tOSU vs Texas (Day vs Sark) was another one of those games where I kind of wished somehow both teams could lose. Like when the Beavs played the Huskies. But like being an Oregonian, I felt like I kind of had to root for the Buckeyes as a fellow B1G member. It looks like Jan. 20 is going to feel the same!

I think Oregon's biggest disadvantage was the month long layoff.

Our Oregon boys, Bittle and Shelstad both represented the state well!

5 star Ty Thompson anyone? I think OBD will be fine.

Everything Illinois threw into the air came down through the hoop. 16 threes, that's crazy. The b-ball team's D looked as porous yesterday's football defense. Tough week to be a Duck fan.

Is it a fluke or did the selection committee completely screw up? Inquiring minds want to know.

It looked to me like Gabriel was indecisive yesterday, holding the ball too long and waiting too long before deciding to run with the ball. Maybe that would have made the OSU defense back off a little bit. Oh well, it was a fun season anyway. Can't wait for next year!

This year's team looks great already. They are fun to watch. If they can continue to improve, as Altman's teams usually do, they should be able to make a deep run in the tourney. The only real weak spot I see is blocking out/rebounding.
