Nevada Dawg No. 2 Share Posted Sunday at 05:11 AM I like your analysis and hope it is right as I was (am) expecting a close game that could go either way while admittedly knowing nothing about Arizona. Go Ducks!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck Author Moderator No. 3 Share Posted Sunday at 08:25 PM You knew it was coming, but I truly think Oregon will win this game. The Big Ten season has prepared the Ducks for games like this, and I think the Ducks have matchup advantages over the Wildcats 1–5. What are the match-up advantages for the Ducks?

spartan2785 No. 4 Share Posted Monday at 02:42 AM 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck Author Moderator No. 5 Share Posted Monday at 02:46 AM 19 point turnaround for Arizona, from a 15 point lead early for the Ducks, to the 42-38 Arizona lead at halftime. the comeback was fueled by Oregon turnovers and offensive rebounds and second chance points for Arizona, they had 4 OR's resulting in 2 points once Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeotechDuck No. 6 Share Posted Monday at 02:51 AM AZ is better at every position on the floor right now, except maybe PG. Shelstad came to play. Too bad everyone else looks over matched. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudslide No. 7 Share Posted Monday at 03:42 AM Well .... I'm 80 years old and I can hit 50% of my FTs. And .... I suspect that if you glued me to the floor somewhere near the key, I'd get a defensive rebound or two. Good grief but this game is going to make me tear out my remaining hair. Maybe I should take up golf. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jemangi No. 14 Share Posted Monday at 04:21 AM Good game. I think AZ the better team (more depth), but maybe not. No patience for a team that misses half its free throws in a game like this. Doubt either can beat Duke. Ducks play hard and compete. On to next year! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JabbaNoBargain No. 16 Share Posted Monday at 04:40 AM (edited) Indeed on the free throws. Very entertaining game that makes me realize how much I miss the old PAC. Different level of being into it against these guys. We had to make the move to the B1G, but now that we’ve completed a season of hoops and football, I’m not a fan of it at all. Okay season in hoops, nothing wrong with making the tourney and winning a game. Edited Monday at 04:41 AM by JabbaNoBargain 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wood Duck No. 18 Share Posted Monday at 05:16 AM That was a fun game to watch. Poor free throw shooting and too many offensive rebounds doomed the Ducks. They didn't lay down, though. Fought hard to the end. 25 wins is nothing to cry about! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevada Dawg No. 19 Share Posted Monday at 05:16 AM Ah inbounding. The Ducks are good a defending when they need a TO, but as for their own prowess!!

30Duck Author Moderator No. 22 Share Posted Monday at 02:11 PM At the start of the game, I thought how bad I'd be feeling if the Ducks were down 19-4? I wasn't thinking they'd have the lead 10 minutes later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Joseph Moderator No. 25 Share Posted Monday at 05:40 PM 10 seed Arkansas is the only team lower than a No. 6 seed to make the Sweet Sixteen. Power conferences fill this year's Sweet 16 for the first time ever APNEWS.COM Years of bracket chaos have given way to the year of the power conference. Cinderella is staying home this time. Conference consolidation at the 'Power' level and transfer portal free agency have resulted in the first All-Power-Conference Sweet 16. (Although, it took a great shot by Maryland freshman Queen, for the Terps to defeat CO. ST. and advance.) If the football playoff committee used the strength-of-schedule metric it pays for and not the eye test, and with no guaranteed spot for a G6 team, the 14 or 16-team PO field in 2026-27 would consist of all Power 4 teams with the B1G and the SEC dominating the field. Four-seeds each for the B1G and the SEC in the football PO field accurately reflect the state of today's game. The B12 in particular should be happy about two seeds being guaranteed.
