Pennsylvania Duck Moderator No. 1 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Oregon still listed among teams on the NCAA Tournament Bubble Oregon is 15-13 on the season and are 9-8 in league play going into their one and only game this weekend, a road slate at rival Oregon State. Having lost four of their last six games the outside perception is that the Ducks should be out of the NCAA Tournament discussion, yet they still are hanging around and giving themselves a chance. How likely is that chance at making it in? It's slim, but the Ducks still have a shot and thus still have life. Even if it is on the brink of falling off. In ESPN.com's latest NCAA Tournament Bracket projections, the Ducks sit as the fifth team out of the NCAA Tournament. So what is ahead of the Ducks and what's a realistic path to the tournament? It ain't pretty, that's for sure...

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 7 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Pac-12 Tournament seeding on the line ahead of Oregon at Oregon State Going into the second-to-last weekend of the college men's basketball regular season the Oregon Ducks have a wide range of possible outcomes for how they finish in the Pac-12 standings. Third place is still on the table while a fourth-place finish is perhaps more realistically attainable. But if Oregon isn't careful the Ducks could drop to eighth or ninth place in the standings as well. "I haven't looked at it, to be honest," said the Oregon Duck head coach Dana Altman. "I looked at Oregon State, the next one. I think our guys have an idea because I heard them talking about it. We can't be looking at three games, we have to be looking at one."

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 9 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Oregon knows they face a 'dangerous' team looking for an upset in Oregon State The Oregon Ducks men's basketball program looks for their second straight season sweep of the Oregon State Beavers Saturday. To do it, the Ducks will have to end a three-game losing streak that's taken the Ducks from being on the brink of making the NCAA Tournament to now needing a lot of help. Oregon might also see its top player in Will Richardson be limited in what he can do Saturday. Richardson is battling hip, hand, and finger injuries that have kept him out of practice this week and make him questionable for Saturday. "It's tough on the team, but they are trying to fight through it. And I haven't done a good enough job of helping the guys," said head coach Dana Altman. "It's as much on me as it is on the guys. I am disappointed where we are at, I am disappointed that I haven't pushed the right buttons and get us where we need to be."

TheRunningDuck No. 28 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I am very amused at the attempts to make the Beavs look good in the media. Extra articles in Oregonlive with positive Beav spins though they lost. Then this: "Before a crowd of 7,270 that included a reported Gill record number of OSU students". Sure, a small crowd boosted by pumping up the number of students means they could hardly sell regular retail tickets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I'll tell you what, Will wasn't going to play. The trainers told me in the morning that WIll wasn't going to go, that he shouldn't go. They said it'd just be sore, it'd probably not be better for Cal if he plays. I told Will it's his choice, you're a senior, Clay says you're not going to hurt yourself any worse but it's going to be sore or sorer," said Oregon head men's basketball coach Dana Altman.
