Proud of this team!

Post by mrpd21 »

Nobody expected them to be in the tourney a month ago, let alone the Sweet 16. Props to the players for stepping up, and for the coach for making adjustments and getting these guys to buy in. What a pleasant surprise this was given the majority of the year. Thank you to the entire team for a great run, it was a wild ride!

Thought this team was absolutely toast after the USC game. Just an absolute amazing comeback!

Absolutely, what a fun run they had with that 10 game winning streak. It still hurts a bit only cause of how close they were, but that doesn’t take away from the pride.

The Ducks make a 180 at the most important part of the season and nearly make it to the elite 8. They end the season with eleven straight games of holding the opponent to under 62 points. I won't forget these guys!

I think this is one of those years that should solidify everyone's faith in Coach Altman. I think most on this board are already with him, but I was stunned at the amount of negative feedback he was getting this year on social media. As some have said, probably his best season yet given the circumstances.

Uh . . . they DID make it to the Sweet 16.

And that really was huge, as it kept the team in the national spotlight for 4-5 more days.

Good job, I was so happy that elite 8 looked like Sweet 16 while I was typing :lol:

Really hope most of the team comes back. The injury to Bol was tremendous towards the team's development and forced them to work as a team to win :')
