First true road game outside the state of Oregon and first B1G Conference game for the Ducks so hopefully they'll be locked in. Trojans aren't in the top 100 in either KenPom or NET, so would be a pretty bad loss at this point.

USC's loss to St Mary's is one of the worst I've ever seen from a conference foe. They got obliterated, 71-36.

This team looks really flat with no movement/energy so far. I wonder if they’re a little tired from the Players Era tourney.

Barthelemy has such a beautiful shot!

Oregon lucky to be down only 7 at half with how many turnovers they've had and how they're letting USC's length and athleticism get to them.

Ducks down 23-30, that might have been the worst half of Oregon basketball this season including the Portland game. Outside of Barthelemy’s shooting Oregon’s guard are playing AWFUL. Way too much 1v1 basketball especially from Shelstad and Bamba with a bunch of standing around on offense. And I know Altman has an offense to run but only Bittle should consistently get the ball down low in a low post iso, Supreme Cook should never touch the ball unless if it’s an offensive rebound or a lob pass and he’s wide open. Also I still can’t figure out why Jamari Phillips hasn’t taken all of Ra’heim Moss’s minutes.

They're letting USC play crazy physical on defense, and then calling it tight on the USC end. It's not allowing for any rhythm or flow for Oregon offensively.

That old ref seemed way too happy to call a technical on Tracey.

And now a pretty weak T on Tracy to give him his 4th foul. Not saying he probably shouldn't have kept talking, but still pretty weak.

This is not on the officials at all though they haven’t been consistent. USC is playing with way more energy and Oregon is playing very flat. After the big win against Bama this is a very disappointing effort for Oregon, mainly the guards.

Ref's call it a little even and Musselman gets himself a T. I'm sure the refs will bend back to him now too. In reality the call he complained about, the guy probably should have gotten a foul called on him during the rebound.
