Sandy Rocks No. 4 Share Posted November 22 It's really frustrating that there is another game without any TV. Even the radio is cutting out with long pauses with poor quality. At least with the PAC 12 most of the games were on TV. I love watching the basketball teams and I have yet to see any games, men or women. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm hopeful it will happen, really disappointing to see this effort, Shelsted has to begin playing better, he's been pretty bad the entire year.

spartan2785 No. 13 Share Posted November 22 Some day we'll be a good shooting team, some day, I don't know when but we'll have to luck into a team that actually shoots well again at some point. It has to happen at some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartan2785 No. 25 Share Posted November 22 Game ball goes to Bittle, Shelstad had a good game, but Bittle just took over and carried the team on his back when they needed him the most, Dante like performance by him. If he can play like that, Oregon will have a shot to do damage. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Administrator No. 26 Share Posted November 22 23 points and 13 rebounds for Bittle? Whew! What a confidence booster, as he knows now he can dominate inside the paint. He has really perfected an unblockable baby-hook. The Ducks have been tested and had to surge back against teams in the state, (Portland and OSU) but this experience in a hostile court will help them. Man, Brandon Angel has a smooth shot at times... Good gosh the drive to the basket by Shelstad to put us ahead by two at the end....wow what a tough shot to make! 2 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckman60 No. 27 Share Posted November 22 I just remember that Oregon, under Altman, has always struggled early in the year. They keep getting better and peak at the end of the year.

HDuck No. 31 Share Posted November 22 Ducks have now won 8 straight vs Beavers. The four wins in Corvallis: 2, 2, 2, 3 pts. Beavs have 9 foreign players on their roster this season. 5 of them scored. Their maturity will likely carry them to a bunch of wins if they get some home crowd support from Beavis fans. They'll have Gonzaga, St. Mary's, Pepperdine, Santa Clara, Portland home and away, but based on tonight I think they can be competitive. Ducks are in their typical Atlman pulling his hair out phase until they can be more consistent on defense, and find a reliable perimeter shooter. Playing physical on the road in the Big Ten will be a new adventure. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicroBurst61 No. 32 Share Posted November 22 Twasnt Purty...but the Beavs Always give our teams "fits" in Corvallis. And we always seems to squeak out a nailbiter in the end. Was nice to see Bittle settling into his "big man" role and Shelstad finally started making his shots. The tourney in Vegas over Thanksgiving should give us a whole lot better "feel" for the ceilings and floors for this team early in the season. Go !

Playing physical on the road in the Big Ten will be a new adventure. Yeah, I have a feeling it's going to be very pretty rough experience at times. B1G has a rep for having officials that let a lot go. I know we sort of thought we would have the same experience in football, but I have a feeling it might turn out to be more true in basketball, don't have any proof, just my feeling on the matter. I think the Beavs will be decent, WCC is a very good mid major conference, could see them just below Gonzaga and St. Mary's. I actually think they might have fun in that conference. Oregon has the tools to be good, they shot better than what it felt like, a lot of that came from the shooting late in the game from Shelstad. Need Bamba to get going with his shot, this team really does have the potential to be a good offensive team, they have a lot of weapons. I think we can play in multiple ways as well. Bittle looks like he can be that post presence. Shelstad can be a very good PG, Bamba has a history of being a good shooter, Angel is a nice stretch 4. We can play inside and out, Barthelemey can be a microwave off the bench, it's still an exciting team I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shooting did turn out better than it seemed, but in this one, and against Portland, the Ducks are sending up the 3's too quickly, try, try again, doesn't seem like a strategy they want to keep going with this season. The real problem laast night though was rebounding, which more than anything else depends on effort. The Ducks ended up getting outrebounded, 38-30. Inside of that, the Beavers finished with 17 offensive rebounds, the Ducks with 7. At one point it was OSU 12 Oregon 0, so the the offensive rebound surge for the Ducks was a crucial ingredient in the comeback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Rocks No. 36 Share Posted November 22 I am glad they played better and won the game. The first half they were just going down the court and jacking up the threes. If was the coach and a player ran down the court and heaved up a three without running a play, I would bench them unless that player was really hot. Ralph Miller, upon whom the court was named was an outstanding coach and he had a quote, "You can only shoot after the ball has been passed around five times." Of course that was before the shot clock. I remember one time, when Oregon State was number one in the country, hard to believe but true, they played Stanford. It was a purely defensive game and the final score was 18 to 16. Oregon State won. Lots of passing in that game. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
