30Duck Moderator No. 1 Share Posted February 12, 2021 It was a game time decision for Chris Duarte, and it turned out to be a good one. Duarte hit the first shot for the Ducks, scored 5 of the first 8. He finished the half with 18, more than half of the 35 the Ducks scored, while holding Arizona State to 28. Duarte didn't score in the second half, but he had plenty of teammates to pick up the slack. Duarte and Omoruyi finished with 18, Figueroa, 16 and Richardson 15, completed the double figure scoring for the Ducks. Figueroa, finished, 4-7 on 3's, Duarte, 4-8, Richardson, 3-6. The Ducks hit42,4% overall, 40.0 overall, the Ducks really moved the ball well, finishing with 22 assists. ASU, for whom only Remy Martin, 30, finished with double figures, had 13 assists.

Charles Fischer Administrator No. 2 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I am happy to win, but boy....there sure were a lot of shots up close missed. Three in one possession alone under the basket, but I assume that is part of the "knocking off the rust" that must happen. 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aix11 No. 3 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Balanced scoring by the Ducks! Without Martin's superb offensive performance, the devils would have looked a lot worse. Good for the Ducks to answer a late surge by the short-handed devils. Our Ducks were out-rebounded by 1 overall, and the devils grabbed 4 more offensive rebounds than the Ducks (something to work on, obviously). I thought that our team chemistry looked better in this game. Keep those W's coming! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notalot No. 5 Share Posted February 12, 2021 This Ducks team has plus quickness and the players are physically strong. They fall short on continuity and play in fits and starts. It's a Covid year with so many challenges, but this group does not play like an Altman team in February. They don't run the offense well with consistency. The team is fun to watch. but watching is painful too. Unfortunately the post season will be short, if at all, unless something changes soon. Go Ducks.

You got that right....he was distracting as heck while trying to watch the game, and I wanted more of his basketball wisdom then his worldly travels. (Please!) I finally just muted it, and while that is not a great viewing experience of a win, it is better than his nonsensical prater. Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
