    I need to say I am very proud of this team in what they had accomplished in spite of the adversities they faced this year.  Sadden to see Jackson Shelstad going down with a knee injury late in the game.

     

    The Oregon Ducks had the makings of a team that could really make some noise in March. 

     

    They had the shooting guard who reached flamethrower status, and the dominant center who was putting up double-doubles at ease. They were severely under-seeded thanks to a lackluster regular season that was plagued with injuries. They got hot and quickly became the team that nobody wanted to see in their quadrant of the NCAA Tournament bracket. 

     

    They had the look of a team that not only could turn heads in the round of 32 and Sweet 16, but potentially dance deeper into the tournament, threatening for a spot in Elite 8.

     

    What they didn’t have, though, was support.

     

    Oregon’s magical run got unceremoniously cut short on Saturday night after what was quite possibly their most impressive game of the year. If you didn’t stay up until 1 a.m. on the East Coast, you’ll see a box score that reads 86-73, Creighton, in double-overtime. If you did stay up, though, then you witnessed two of the best performances from Oregon players in program history. 

     

    N’Faly Dante and Jermaine Couisnard were special, combining for 60 of the team’s 73 points, and all but two of the Ducks’ points from halftime to the final whistle. 

     

    The rest of the team? Different story. 

     

    It left Oregon just short of an historic win, and much heartbreak at the end of the season. Here are some of our biggest takeaways from the night as a whole:
