Pretty awesome, wish I could have been there this past weekend, sounds like it was a great environment. Going to be interesting to see where the Ducks are ranked. It's a huge win for the quest to hosting a regional. I'm pretty doubtful we can get into the top 8, but I do think we could get a regional.

Yeah...I think Nico can go kick rocks, despicable behavior there.

I don't want to be that guy, but this feels very similar to when they got Ra'heim Moss, Estrada, Zarzuela, the list goes on. A scorer who shot 36% from 3 and 42% overall in a lower level league, does not sound like an impact player at all. I could be wrong, but I'm not exactly overwhelmed with confidence this is the guy to replace Bamba or Key.

I am a bit concerned that we don't seem to get some of the highly rated transfers, definitely going to need at least a guard and another center. Hoping Lindsay and Kobzystyi are going to be impact players and the reason why Cook and Tracey are leaving.

Honestly surprised, felt like with Evans being a former 5 star, not being a starter most of the time, he would have gone to a place where he would be featured more. I'm happy to have him back, I like him as a player. He has a lot to work on though, his jumper, his ball handling, his playmaking. I think he's a good rebounder for his size, but he needs to become more skilled and stronger, hard thing to do.

Right move, he might as well go ahead go through the process some, he might get an indication about where might go in the draft, then he can sit down and make a decision. I think it's 50-50 that he come back. There isn't much chance that he move up considerably next year as opposed to this year, but he might also have more clarity on his NIL deal at Oregon. In the end sometimes guys have just had enough of the college life and want to go on to next phase in their life, you just never know.

Good fight, but pathetic at the line Caleb Love of course decides to have his best game of the year.

Would help if the refs called even one over the back on Zona, basically allowing them to go kamikaze into our big men, we need to be stronger though. Time to bench Barthelemy, he's given us absolutely nothing right now.

Being the Friday guy is significant, it means going best against best. Since the Ducks are almost certainly the class of the B1G, this would be the right move, occasionally you might see a team deliberately withhold their ace in order to try to maximize wins, but the Ducks should be shooting for sweeps instead of 2 out of 3s. I don't think it should be too much of a psychological impact on Grinsell, it's not like he's been amazing in his career, he should understand the situation. His stuff is more like a #2 or even a #3 really on a good team.

Yeah, it's fine, I'm just not that surprised is all I meant. When it came to our losses, I wasn't concerned really. Now for UW I would be a little concerned since they're 9-13, they've probably played a tougher schedule than us, but 9-13 is 9-13, that won't cut it for a team that really should be better. The state of Washington has a lot of good talent, but they can't seem to get it going up there compared to UO and OSU. It's been a bit baffling to me since I would say Washington has more talent overall in the state. They should be better as a program.

Baseball is one of those games where anyone can beat anyone. There are a lot of NWAAC teams that could compete occasionally with D1 programs, Lewis and Clark State College in Lewiston which is a NAIA school has had some teams that definitely could have taken a series against a Pac-12 team if they played at their best. All you need is to have your pitcher have a day where they locate, and the hitters have an off-day at the plate.

ACC must be horrendous, I know that UNC took care of business, but a team that only lost twice in the league play got beat decisively and the 3rd place team is now getting boat raced by McNeese.

12-5 is always difficult to predict, seems like there are as many upsets as there are blowouts.

My heart bleeds for you!

Looks like we lucked out for all those who still have to work during the day, 7:10 on Friday, perfect time for me, I always like being the late game during the tournament.
