Good to see.

But I have a sneaky suspicion that Oregon is going to be a handful in the new Pac-12. The addition of two big men -- former Wake Forest center Tony Woods and Louisiana Tech forward Olu Ashaolu -- will immediately make the Ducks a force inside. If both of these players play up to their potential, Oregon will be a tough out in the Pac-12. Dana Altman was always looked at as a serious coach at Creighton, one who consistently was able to maximize his talent. But he didn't garner the national recognition he deserved. If he's able to take the Ducks from the bottom of the Pac-12 and to a top-four finish and a possible NCAA berth in Year 2, then he should be praised on both coasts.

Dana Altman has an opportunity to crack into the upper half of the Pac-12 and make a run at an NCAA tournament bid. The Ducks overachieved in Altman's first year, winning the CBI title even after numerous players transferred in wake of Ernie Kent's firing and left him short-handed. Altman missed the NCAA tournament in his final three seasons at Creighton after building up the Bluejays as a top mid-major program. Now he'll have a chance to experience March Madness again as Oregon welcomes top-100 freshman Jabari Brown and impact transfers Ashaolu and Woods.
