So disappointed in this team, it's going to cost them a seed in the tourney, came out unprepared, uninspired, completely unacceptable performance today. I don't know when they are going to realize they need to fight for every rebound, they need to hustle the entire game, leaders need to step up and take control, just horrible!

I say that, and then he hits a three, take that attitude throughout the game, have that every night!!!

This is a horrible loss if we can't pull it out, horrible performance by our stars, so little intensity, lack of precision. Where is Shelstad, go out and dominate, somebody take charge!!!!!

Annoying to come out like we’re sleepwalking, Minnesota isn’t a good team, have to come out with some intensity

The net also factors in things like offensive and defensive efficiency, so the fact that we basically don't blow anyone out hurts us.

There's been a few good ones, but none where you legitimately could see all 4 go in the first two rounds of the draft.

No, it's just the reality of college football now. You'll always see this with Oregon since you have the Nike link, and it's such a long distance for most recruits. I see just as many people claim this for those going to tOSU or Ole Miss or any other school. It's also probably true in a lot of cases, players want to get paid, it's a business to a lot of players (just look at the cases of Jaden Rashada, the UNLV QB, many others). It was a business in some ways even before players started getting paid due to promises of playing time, exposure to scouts, under the table dealings.

Autzen is special for those special games. It used to be special for basically every game (thinking early 2000s), but now it seems like it's more reserved for the truly big games. Most of the major B1G teams have now experienced Autzen (Michigan, Mich. St, Nebraska, tOSU, Wiscy). Only really need Penn St. to come out here to believe it. The rest of the league probably won't experience it at it's best since most of them are scrub teams (Rutgers, Northwestern, Indiana, Minnesota). They probably won't see Autzen at its best. Indiana could be a big game where they experience a raucous (for Autzen) environment.

Would love to have him, he's a really good player, at least at the level of Holden. Ekbuka and Smith got so many looks that Tate probably was under utilized for his talent level. Him and Stewart would be a good starting point. Kasper and Lowe will probably be decent. I don't really have a lot of hope in Dickey, I know it's only been his second year, just a feeling I have. When it comes to Dakorian Moore, I'm not really holding my breath, I know he seems like he's going to be a really really impressive freshman, but we haven't had very good luck with these 5 star receivers coming in and being a game-breaker from the start. Just basically not trying to get my hopes up.

Trust the coaches, they'll put the players in the best position to win. This group coming in is certainly the most heralded group of DBs to ever come to Oregon, it will be interesting to see if one of them will be that truly game changing DB in the mould of a Downs or Starks.

I think he's bitter towards Oregon now, the 12 man comment was so so lame, Chip we beat you, we should have won by more, yes you beat us later like you should since you have a lot more blue chippers than we do. He failed at every stop after he left Oregon, he's proven that he can't recruit without the allure of Nike and the Oregon brand. He got tired of failing at UCLA so he joined the Ohio St. where he doesn't have to put in work other than as a play-caller. He lost a lot respect from me for his comments towards Oregon.

He's not saying we were pumping in crowd noise, he's just saying it was so loud it felt like Oregon was pumping in crowd noise, give him some credit, that's what I took from it.

Actually.....I'm not sure if he's entirely wrong. I'm very interested to see what that team would have done with a much more dynamic threat at QB. I don't think it was a mistake from Sark, but I'm also not sure if they might have been better off going to Arch.

It's a weird team for sure, they aren't really improving like an Altman team usually does, though I guess his teams do tend to turn it on in February. I'm just amazed that we haven't been able to get a good shooting team in what seems like forever. Last few years it's been a struggle from outside. We used to be such a perimeter oriented team, now we are much more effective pounding it inside than letting it fly from outside. It's surprising to see guys like Bamba and Angel regress in their shooting percentages from previous years, usually you'll see players continue to become more consistent, instead you have no idea what you are getting from either of them. Tracey as well has become very inconsistent in his effectiveness. Really the only one that I think has been consistent in his value is Bittle.

Ugly win, give props to Bamba and Angel, they both showed up, it wasn't always pretty, but they did enough to win the game, and it's good that both of those guys saw the ball go into the basket. They both still aren't shooting that well from deep, but at least they were able to get their inside game going. It's going to rough seeing teams dare Bamba to shoot from outside, but at least he saw a couple go in from there. Now they go on the road to a mediocre Minnesota team and a struggling UCLA team, need both of them I think.

Bob Chesney of James Madison either needs a wellness check or have his vote taken away, there is no logical reason to vote Oregon 7th

I just want to see Bamba not be useless on offense, please for the love of all that is green and yellow shoot what you shot every other year you have played basketball!!!!! We are literally depending on him to shoot better than 33 to 35% from 3 or we aren't going anywhere, we need him desperately to become the player he has been at every other stop he's had. Angel as well has to shoot what he has shot the other years he's played in college, we need that element to compete against the better teams around the country, without it we will see a lot more games like Purdue.

He's basically Soares who was probably the worst starting guard Oregon has had in the last 20 years, he's horrible, he can't even score at the hole now. I wouldn't mind seeing Tracey at the 2 and Evans at the 3, try that. You can't keep running him out there and watch him basically be useless on offense.

We really are not doing a good job at home, we simply are a horrible shooting team from 3 and yet we love to jack them up. BAD LOSS I don't care if Purdue is good, you can't keep losing home game, simply can't.

Frustrating, the shooting is simply atrocious, Bamba is completely broken, he's becoming a liability on offense, he has no confidence, if I was an opponent I would dare him to shoot. Refs are completely biased 5 foul difference right now in the half, they have to even that up a bit, ridiculous. commentary is right, have to feed Bittle in the post

No, he was with the last good Ernie Kent team. His senior year he had Porter, Bryce Taylor, Hairston, and Maarty Leunen. Lost to top ranked Florida in the Elite Eight.

There are actually a lot of players who I think have a case to be on this list over the players on it. Evans is a nice player but Kazemi and Omoruyi are both superior players, heck I would even say Moser was a better player. Troy Brown is another one, I would put Figueroa over him. Just because they were NBA guys doesn't mean they are superior Ducks.

I don't mind a lot of screens at times, even if it doesn't work for a bit, but very very very rarely were the screens used to set something up for a shot down the field later in the game, or something where we faked a screen one way and had something on the backend. It just didn't seem very wise to not use our tendencies to set up the opposition.

Having Dante as the worst center out of those three is a travesty of justice!!!! Bol Bol is barely even a Duck, played a couple games, got injured, then didn't even attempt to come back. Give me Shelstad, Cousinard, Brooks, Bell, and Dante. I'm dominating in the interior, and three killers in the clutch from the point guard and wings.

This will be his third year upcoming as Gizmo said, he is a okay play-caller, he isn't very good at adjusting to what the other team is taking away, he calls too many screens when it obvious that is what the opposing team is trying to take away. He doesn't always do a good job setting other teams up for big plays later in the game. I think he does a good job getting multiple facets of the offense involved, but I would like to see him develop the mid and deep passing game more. Too often you would see a play set up on a 3rd down where we are depending on the receiver making a play after the catch in order to pick up the first down. This isn't a bad strategy all the time, but it seemed like we relied on it to a greater degree than we should have. That might have to do with our roster, but I would like to see the offense become more diversified in its passing tree. I am interested to see what he does with a QB who has the arm talent that Moore has. Gabriel was a great player but he was limited by his height and he lack of elite arm talent (it was decent to good). I wouldn't be surprised to see Oregon throw the ball down the field more often with a QB who can throw with elite velocity.
