Should end up being a quadrant 2 win, if we can win...possibly quadrant 1 if they knock off Gonzaga at some point.

The University of San Diego Toreros (= bullfighters) are a good team. They've beaten Colorado, nearly beat UW in Seattle, and beat most of the teams they "should" beat pretty convincingly. If the Ducks don't come out aggressive and confident, they could very easily lose this game.

Bol and King will combine for 50+ points and Oregon wins by double digits.

USD has 5 players that are 6'9" or taller. We better be ready to box out and crash the boards, or it is going to be a long night.

Oregon will have to play very well for this to happen. This USD team is veteran and has three skilled playmakers who will keep USD in it. I'm expecting a little closer game: Oregon wins 78 - 72.

I find Coach Altman's pre game press conference unsettling as he downplays the changes and in particular the impact of Bailey and Kigab last game while highlighting how well the Seniors played in coming off the bench. I fear much like last year he is determined that the Senior players will play and continues to provide them opportunities while never consistently giving young players consistent minutes. I am very confident that both Kigab, Bailey and Richardson are capable of making a greater contribution that White and Amin provided they receive an endorsement from the head coach and the opportunity to play through some errors.

Think about Troy Brown last year who played major league minutes regardless of mistakes and production. 5 star guys getting 5 star treatment. The same could not be said for Bailey and Kigab who rarely see the floor for longer than 3 to 4 minutes at a time and are even subbed out when producing.

Only rebuttal I have to this is it's very possible DA is just trying different rotation and subbing patterns. I'd like to think by the time we hit January, we will see a more steady rotation and not taking guys out so frequently.

I find the frequent subbing hurtful, as it doesn't allow players to get into a rhythm (and/or stay in a rhythm).

It's absolutely wrong that Paul White gets in before Victor Bailey Jr. VJ has been our most efficient offensive player.

WTF is wrong with Dana?

I swear if I see Wooten jump wildly at one more rebound and not box out....

I don't get it. They look like they turned the corner last week. They were running their offense. Defense was effective. Now they look like s*** again.

About 4-5 awful calls against the ducks already...pac-12 refs in fine mid season form. The one where the SD player just gave the forearm shiver to King was ridiculous.

That last "offensive foul" on Pritchard was called by the outside ref and was completely wrong.

Same fucking ref calls an obnoxious call on the ground against Amin.

About a 10 point advantage by the refs.

crowd is also..woof...

Why does Paul White play?!?!
