Just Ducky No. 3 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I hope our guards show up against the Trojans. We need them to play much better than they did against The Bruins. Our only savior in that game is UCLA shot the ball badly most of the game. Oregon’s D played well thank god. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graziani93 No. 4 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Not only is tonight's game a must-win, I think the whole season (whether we make the tournament or not) comes down to this ONE game. The UCLA win on Thursday has resulted in our NET ranking climbing back up to a not great but at least respectable 58. Tonight's USC game is the only game left that has a chance of affecting the NET rankings in any material way. As I predicted before the first USC win in Los Angeles, I think USC is overrated. The only guys that concern me are Peterson and Ellis. But Ellis may not even play due to injury. It will be a close game, but if the fans show up again (and why the heck wouldn't you go to such a game?), it should be a solid win tonight. I still believe in Will as our big stud. He's been much maligned lately but give the man a chance - he is our leader and we'll go as far as he takes us. Obviously, we'll need solid contributions from our bigs (but catch the damn ball and hit some free throws down the stretch). Ultimately, in Dana we trust! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, our basketball team is overrated, and very inconsistent. The double overtime in Corvallis Thursday night wont help us tonight either. Vegas has the ducks at -4. I think Ducks will cover. Could easily be a blowout if USC plays like they did against the Beavs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graziani93 No. 34 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Anyone else sick of the stupid weave at the top of the key that we do for the first 10 - 15 seconds of each possession? It does nothing but tire out our guards and then we rush into a bad shot. I don't see the point of it - just go into the offense already. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graziani93 No. 37 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I was thinking that too, especially with 4 seconds left, down by 1. A quick entry to Dante or even Franck could have been an option. Then again, either probably would have fumbled the ball, or if fortunate enough to be fouled, missed the free throws. Most likely would have been the same ending anyway. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Ducky No. 40 Share Posted February 27, 2022 The simple fact is when you’re number one scorer isn’t scoring you usually loose. Our bigs were not in foul trouble and Are not in the game when you need rebounding especially when SC was crashing the boards at the end is on Dana.

McDuck No. 42 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Watched just a bit of the post game press availability. Altman looked and sounded like he wants this year to be over. I know I'm ready, this team is just not enjoyable to watch. How to they allow a guy shooting over 50% for the game to casually dribble the ball up court and shoot a wide game winner?

Our 3 guards were wearing themselves out at the end of the game running that damn thing when they were already tired. USCs guard were getting a rest when it was going on. Confusing to say the least. I guess Altman’s strategy was to use some clock. I Guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
