I’m having a hard time getting over the 39% FG percentage. It seems like we always have plenty of shot takers and not enough shot makers.

Vatan is in the portal now, so down to one holdover. This is not ideal: "It wasn't unexpected," Altman said. "There were three guys we really wanted back — Sean and KJ and Jackson, three starters. We did not pull anybody scholarship. Everybody had their scholarship would have been renewed, but we are working with the budget, and some guys are going to lose their NIL. Most of them are taking a reduction, big reduction."

And there goes Phillips, as expected.

Is this is really one of Oregon’s targets to fill the PG position? 5’10” and shoots 39% from the floor and 31% from three? If that is true, then I have to continue to assume there is a major NIL issue with men’s hoops.

Demir just entered the portal. Down to Stewart, Vatan, and Phillips. I am shocked that Phillips has not entered yet.

Yes. Both are gone.

The hits keep coming. I suspect more will come tomorrow.

Duke got Adam Spanished.

That’s fun. Do they know that USC has: ONE conference championship ZERO playoff or BCS appearances, and ONE win against Oregon In the last 15 years?

I have a feeling that this is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. There were rumors flying around just over a year ago that Oregon’s NIL budget for men’s hoops was around $3M. I hope that is not true, but if it is, Oregon is no where near being market competitive.

Oregon had to keep two guys on the roster going into next season - Evans and Shelstad - And they lost both. Is Dana going to be able to find 5 legit starters in the portal?

What happens next is going to send a clear message on how invested Oregon is in the future of men’s basketball. They need a minimum of 3 starting caliber players and a few rotation guys. And that is assuming that Ariza can come in and start right away.

Yikes!! One of the few guys that did more than one thing well.

12 points at half? Just gross. 🤮 I have been watching Oregon hoops since 1991 and I have never seen that before. Is that the lowest output in a half for the Ducks since the shot clock was adopted??

UW coach got a double T, so 2 FT each, then Evans had a 1:1. 6 total. 9 points in 11 seconds is some Reggie Miller stuff. That was awesome.
