Gotta sweep here if we wanna make NCAA tournament. Realistically, gotta win 5 out of our next 6.

I think winning 4 of our last 6, including a win over Arizona and USC would actually be very close #'s wise to getting in.

If we then made the semis of the CT on top of it, it'd probably get us to the play-in games.

RPI currently sitting at 80. That's actually lower than before the WSU win thanks to the fuskies dropping the ball versus OSU.

Barring a Pac 12 tournament victory and auto berth, I don't see how the ducks get in with their current RPI and record. They just don't have the resume this year. Maybe if they could take all six remaining conference games. With the pathetic non-conference schedule, 10 losses will probably do them in.

Winning 5 of the last 6 will likely put Oregon #2 in the standings. Oregon will get in if they win their last 5 of 6. If they win 4, we are still a bubble team and would likely have to at least get to the Pac-12 tournament championship game to have a solid shot. And even then, we'd be a bubble team.

5 /6 gets the Ducks to 22-9 (12-6) add 2 CT wins, loss in the championship game, 24-10.

The good news is that Oregon does not have a loss outside the Top 100. The bad news is that they only have 2 Top 50 wins. They almost have to beat USC and both AZ schools so they can get some quality wins.

Unfortunately, Oregon State comes in at 159, here: https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/standings/

Oops! I guess I just wanted to erase that one from my memory.

It sucks, because I have no doubt we are a top 68 team right now. But the growing pains have been real this year.

Nobody shot worth a damn in that first half on either team.

Defense was fairly good, but some wide open misses on both sides.

Troy Brown needs to get it going and we have to keep rebounding on defense.

Bad couple of possessions by the Ducks. Almost like they've never gone against a zone. Probably going to cost them the game.

Ugly last 2-3 minutes of execution on the offensive end.
