TENNESSEE STATE

After a close first half, Oregon absolutely demolishes Tennessee State in the 2nd and wins 92-67. Jadrian Tracey led the way with 15 points off the bench and 4 others score in double figures. Only concerning thing was Bittle missed the entire 2nd half with a wrist injury that looked pretty heavily wrapped.

Bittle looked ok, got punished a little down low. Still think he needs to get stronger. Granted, he won’t be playing the 5 when Dante is back, but he does cover the other 5 enough where his strength could be a liability. Still love the dude and his effort.

It's only the highlights but this team looks far more advanced than any of the teams since Prtichard/Duarte-era at this point in the season.

Still worried that we don't seem to have any go-to bucket-getter, but the cohesiveness and effort seem to be at a high level already, which is a rare thing to say for a Dana Altman team this early in the year.

The cohesiveness is probably going to get interrupted in a big way once Shelstead/Mookie get healthy.... we'll see how everyone gels with that dynamic. Some players are going to have to sacrifice big time (whether that's the newcomers or vets).
