Midwest R64: #3 Oregon vs #14 Iona (Friday 11 AM TBS)

[greenyellow]

Smith is giving them some good minutes on the defensive end, causing a couple of steals/loose balls with his quick hands. If he could score, that'd be even better.

Washington doing what he does... Scores and then takes himself out of the game with dumb fouls. Bell killing it right now. Got a few good minutes from KBW. Need Pritchard to find his stroke from 3 if we're gonna go far, but damn his handles are great. Keith Smith has Kyle Anderson type speed lol

Why was B-W out there way at the top? Was that his part of playing the zone?





that P to B-W play was beautiful!

[greenyellow]

Iona tries to up-tempo Oregon and pay for it by giving the Ducks a couple easy buckets.

[rockthief]

Oh man, hope Washington is okay. Dang!

[greenyellow]

Washington is injured after slipping on a wet spot on the floor caused by KBW falling. Nice close by the Ducks to finish the half.

[greenyellow]

Ducks up 55-37 at half.

greenyellow, you give a good commentary. Move over Jerry Allen.


Go Ducks!

Hopefully it's just a muscle strain for him. Walking off like that was a good sign as the way he held it first made me think it was worse.

All in all a good first half. Bell got one quick foul and KBW gave some good minutes despite a few miscues. It's good to get him more comfortable and I'm excited to see how PP continues to grow. That pass was obviously his highlight but he made 2-3 nice defensive plays that keyed easy buckets. He's becoming a complete pg.

Dorsey somehow scores buckets in a quiet way. Everyone else seems to get a little more pub but he keeps plugging along.

That second foul on Brooks was unnecessary. He drove into four players. Argh!



Hope Pritchard steps up his scoring game today. Been quiet for several games.

Except it wasn't a foul, it was a very bad call.

Yea, the one on Dillon just before he was out of control but that one no one had position defensively. We can keep doing that all game long, especially in transition like that.

I watched it a couple more times. You are correct. It was a good drive by Brooks.

Once PP develops a perfect 10 footer below the foul line, he'll be sick - he crosses over the D like crazy, but it's all or nothing to the rim or some pass out to the perimeter. Once he's got that 10 footer, bigs will have to come to him and he can dump to the paint for easy buckets all day long. Love his handles and development.

Oh and that no look pass to KBW was SICK!

[Duck07]

8 straight to open the half for PP
