Dave23 No. 6 Share Posted Thursday at 03:42 AM Oregon just stood around in the second half and didn't run any offense, really lucky to pull off the win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck Author Moderator No. 7 Share Posted Thursday at 03:48 AM Two late reviews go Iowa's way. Shelstad can't get the ball upcourt in time, then he steps out of bounds, turns the ball over. A loose ball goes right by Angel, does he dive for it? No. Speaking of lack of urgency, kind of perfect that Shelstad's 3 was ruled to have not been in time, he did make the crucial 1 & 1, ended up with 3 points. Great game for Bittle and a good one for Evans. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeotechDuck No. 9 Share Posted Thursday at 04:07 AM Evans plays well again, but somehow his minutes are not increasing. Meanwhile Bamba shoots 36% from the floor again. Gross. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDuck No. 10 Share Posted Thursday at 05:12 AM Man, both of those late calls that went to Iowa were close. Looked to me like the ball was clear of Shelstad's fingers for the 3 before time expired. The out of bounds ball didn't really have a conclusive camera angle between the two hands. Home court officiating means something. Lesson is you can't let the game be that close where a call could have decided the game. The inconsistency of individual players game to game has to be driving Altman nuts. Iowa last two seasons: 19-14, 14-12. Indiana may not be the only one with an opening - maybe.

GeotechDuck No. 12 Share Posted Thursday at 07:07 AM (edited) Another poor defensive performance, allowing another conference bottom feeder to shoot 50% from the floor yet again. The defense is a complete mess and not typical of an Altman coached team. Let’s hope the shots are falling in March, because if they are not, this team is going to have a very early exit in the post season.

Tandaian No. 13 Share Posted Thursday at 05:03 PM I'm not a fan of the B1G TEN announcers being so biased against, UO, UW, USC and UCLA. They aren't even trying to hide it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Fischer Administrator No. 15 Share Posted yesterday at 12:59 AM I would like to think that over the years--as they get used to us and enjoy the glory Oregon teams bring to the B1G, they will warm up to us? 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You honestly probably know more about the 4 former Pac12 members than they do. It's funny, I actually really liked Hummell as a player, great stretch 4, kind of reminded me of Maarty Leunen. It's going to take about 4 more years for everyone to get used to us, and for us to get used to them. Even at the end Colorado and Utah still felt like outsiders. Heck my parents talked for quite a few years about how they remember when the Arizona schools were the newcomers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never liked the addition of the Arizona's to the Pac-12, they definitely didn't fit. This year's Ducks could really use a Maarty Leunen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck Author Moderator No. 20 Share Posted 7 hours ago Here's a Maarty Leunen highlight I'll never forget, from '06-07 ``Maarty is a great freethrow shooter, we all knew that,'' Brooks said. ``I had all the faith that he'd hit those shots.'' Leunen sank two free throws with 0.5 seconds left to tie it at 64-64 and force overtime. They were the only points Leunen scored in regulation, but the 6-foot-9 junior wasn't nervous. ``I knew I had no points. It's kind of easy to remember how many points you have when you got none,'' he said. ``When you step up to the line, you've got to be confident and relax.''
