Yes, Oregon and Colorado are tied for 4th now at 11-8, Colorado is at Utah tonight at 6:30 PT. WSU is 10-9. Tiebreakers could be needed, Oregon and Colorado split, and Oregon beat WSU in their first game.

Yes, but on tape. After 5 and with an adult beverage in hand.

I'm also recording and will watch later today.

 

Go Ducks!!

No, this group is not enjoyable to watch.  Maybe next year there will be a team.

Ducks are 0-2 in early games this season.

 

Lost to Houston in an 11:30am game on November 24th.

 

Lost to California in a 1pm tipoff on February 12th.

 

Cougs gave them all they could handle at The Matt on February 14th.

Yes because watching at work on night shift and AFN is showing the game live starting at 1 AM , and not all that much busy

Dana going big against WSU with both N'Faly and Franck to start the game.

I am watching. Nothing better to do after a hip replacement. Got a feeling I'll be watching a lot of March Madness.

 

Will Richardson on the bench in street clothes.

Ducks with 3 turnovers in their fist six possessions.

 

WSU up 9-4 with 15:39 left in 1st half.

Remember when the question was "Will the Ducks get to 20 Wins before the conference tournament?" Now the question is "Will the team Win 20 games this season?" Altman's streak, (24 seasons) is in jeopardy. 

WA St 6-11 on 3s.

Ha! I started that thread. One of the reasons why I don't wager on games.

Cougars 46-32 at the half.

 

WSU 9-19 from beyond the arc.

WSU shooting 50.0 % from the field, 9-19 on 3's. Oregon shooting 44.0 % 1-6 on 3's.

It's a sad situation but missing Richardson is not having any effect on this game that I can see. 

Ducks are playing for extra games, as in no 1st round bye in the Pac12 tournament.

Finish in 5th they'll play 12th place OSU, 6th, 11th Utah.

This second half is taking as long as

This team is totally dysfunctional on both offense and defense.

 

Wouldn't surprise me to see them eliminated from the Pac12 tournament in the first round.

Kids under 12 should not watch this Oregon basketball team. 

If the Ducks can hold the Cougars to under 100 in these final three minutes, they can claim a moral victory. 

 

You can blame the players or the coaches or the tilt of the Earth, but I am livid that the Ducks' pilot touched down in the Palouse, when it was a beautiful weekend for flying and Manitoba is lovely at this time of year. Yes, take the "F" for forfeit; it's much better than an "F" for performance or lack thereof. 

Not watching the game but I checked the box score, down 20, less than 5 minutes to go, and only eight players have stats?  I understand Richardson is out but 14 players have logged minutes this year. Shades of Mario, don't play the reserves.  Five players haven't seen the floor this game---why? 

 

Ducks get their patooties handed to them in Pullman. Final score Cougs 94 to Ducks 74.

I prefer a loss by 20 than by 1. 

Last couple of years, Dana has had patchwork teams.  Too many transfers in/out for continuity.

Richardson, who was expected to spearhead this group, just disappeared.

 

Next year, maybe he can build on continuity with returning players…….and, without the enigmatic Richardson…..and “clank” Williams.

And 2 martini adult beverages were not enough to keep me in this game.

 

This looks like Ducks football in 3 of its last 4 games. Has Dana lost this team?

Since he's been here, Altman's answer, win or lose in post game interviews has been, "We've got a lot of work to do". That hasn't worked this year. 

Did not watch the game but friend texted and said at one point Altman had to yell at the bench players to get up and come around the circle?

To be fair, in Pac12 play, Oregon scored an average of 73 points per game.

 

In the first half of conference play they averaged 76 points, but dropped to an average of 68 in the last half of conference games.

 

 

 

 

OMG--thats all I can say.

I could have used some of those bricks for a back wall I want to build.

 

After watching (most, definitely not all) that game, I hope i "enjoyed" this game more than the players did.  WSU popped the Ducks March Madness Poop Balloon but good.

 

And I'll say this for the 5th time...I detest that weave Altman has uses.  And who in the world is teaching the Ducks how to (apparently not) scrape the defender on their offensive picks?

 

Gads...and I thought the last couple football games were bad. 

 

On the good news front.....GO GET 'EM Kepnang!

And I'll say this for the 5th time...I detest that weave Altman has uses.”

 

Me, too!

Time for a coaching change?

This was not a losing season, and I would not want to make a knee-jerk mistake.  We could end up like UCLA in football who fired Jim Mora--who did far better than his replacement in a four year period.

Couldn't agree more. As Bill W says, Dana Altman should be in the hall of the fame! His string of 20 win seasons is in jeopardy, but that doesn't get a coach fired under any circumstance, particularly with the recruits coming next season.
