Oh man... so darn close. Another nice late season run after such a tough and challenging year.

Great comment & video. The problem with the Pig-2 having been welfare recipients with their hands out there now for decades, is that once they quickly run out of OPM (Other PAC Money), they'll have virtually no idea how to survive. I'm tellin' ya... it ain't gonna be pretty when we effectively see them on the side of Highway 99 picking up can & bottles, and holding up cardboard signs that say: "Need More Free OPM." (OPM has an opium like effect) And of course, they'll still go nowhere near a mirror, and they will continue to blame everyone & everything else for their demise.

Dang... I should have run with it 😁. But hey... More PAC-12 March Madness -- We're now 6-0!

I just hate it when I make a speeling error. It's downright embarrassing. I don't suppose anyone would buy it if I attempted to bs my way into saying that I was making some sort of "Nobel Prize" tie in.😉

Kentucky's HC Calipari: “I’ve got all my coaching buddies call, and they say, ‘I love your team.’ And I love this team too. We’re built for March.” Calipari said. Yeah... built to get bounced again in the first round and enjoy March from the comfort of your man-cave at home. And as the Master FishDuck sez: "I never said I was nobel."

The Best and Worst from Day 2 of March Madness WWW.SBNATION.COM Two thrilling upsets, our first overtime game, and a healthy heap of high-flying offense highlighted day two of the NCAA tournament. Absolutely love this quote: "Greg Sankey just had to open his mouth. He just had to very publicly imply that the tournament needs to be tinkered with, and that giving automatic bids to smaller conferences is wasting them. Well, look what you did now you absolute buffoon."

Kentucky & Auburn getting bounced are two of my favorites so far. To quote a legend, "I never said I was noble."

This has all the earmarks for what should be a great game tonight. Can't wait.

That GCU last 3:30 was painful to watch and downright ugly. Frankly, it was just very poorly played. They are fortunate that SMU did not have any time outs remaining after the 3:30 mark. GCU won't be able to get away with that kind of late poor play again. They need to learn how to use the clock, and they look like a JV team when trying to inbound the ball. Still, what a great win for their program. And James Madison... another lower seed excellent win too. March Madness!

I know we've only completed the first round so far, but I'm amazed that the PAC-12 is 5-0. Can't wait for the game tonight. GO DUCKS!

Love the Lopes. That's great that your kid goes their. One of sons went their and graduated a few years ago -- and he loved it. Great school, environment, and amazing facilities. But enough Lopes talk... GO DUCKS!

GCU Baby! First NCAA D1 tourney win since moving up in 2013.

I just felt the need to underscore those numbers this morning.

Holy cow... The former Gamecock went off. What an insane, incredible, performance.

Did Couisnard just score the most points by a Duck in Duck NCAA tourney history? I'm not positive about that, but if he didn't, he was darn close.

The floor is definitely innovative. But the bummer is that, while creative, it looks like crapola on TV. In person, it's not quite as bad. But I feel like we're kind of the basketball equivalent of Boise State's vomit blue Smurf-Turf.

Facts and data can just be so darn inconvenient sometimes.

Yep... that thing, while creative, has gotta go.

They went from hitting 12% of their 3s against the Buffs, to hitting 44% today. Nice. And they were smokin hot from the 2 at 60%.

I think they heard your call from over the interwebs... Only 1 TO in the second half.

What a bummer. With 11:55 to go in the game, Dante has missed a shot. He's only 6/7 so far. Dude really needs to regroup and step it up. C'mon Ducks... Finish this game strong!!

Plus three times zones. If I was a betting man, I'd have to go with SC. However, I had Oregon getting bounced in the first round of the PAC 12 championship too. Regardless, GO DUCKS!

The defense absolutely won the game against Colorado, forcing 13 TO's and picking up 9 Steals. They just smothered the Buffs. And to have won by 7 while only shooting 12% from the 3, further underscores the exceptional defensive output.

I'm going out on a limb and predicting that the Ducks will shoot better from the 3 than the 12% they hit last night.

No doubt that teams will now double, and even perhaps triple team, Dante. Especially after Oregon shot a horrendous 12% from the 3, opponents will likely feel some freedom to give our shooters some room and focus on defending Dante. So, hopefully, our shooters will be feeling it and nail some early shots from downtown.
