A&M is a team like us. Capable of beating top teams(Auburn) but losing to Missouri and South Carolina at home.

He was the lead recruiter for Ware, Dior Johnson, and Tyrone Williams so it'll be interesting to see if any of those guys look elsewhere. Not sure any of the rumored guys up this job last year are going to be available as they've all gone to bigger schools than they were previously. They're likely going to need a big-time recruiter as that is what Stubblefield and Crutchfield were for Altman.

Dante has traveled with the team but Richardson didn't.

I’m starting to wonder if Will Richardson just left the program to either declare for the draft or transfer.

Oregon just doesn’t seem to care, A&M just wants it more. Bigs are giving way more effort than the wings but per usual wings are hogging the ball and throwing up bad shots and can’t make anything.

Young in particular is really having a bad game but when he has a good game he has a really good game and when he has a bad game he has a really bad game.

Ready for some new wing players on this team.

I don’t want to call it effort with our guards. It’s just a lack of basketball smarts. They’re always out of position, hesitant on rotations, and completely unaware of their offensive strengths and limitations. That and we have zero shooters on this team with Richardson out.

Again with crappy shot choices, stupid 3 pt attempts, and lousy scoring percentage. it is too late to expect any smooth flow with this team. One more half to go and maybe the Ducks will get it together.

The percent these guys shoot on open threes is maddening. They need a hand in their face while shooting off balance to make anything....

I don’t think Oregon has even hit the rim on a three this half. They’ve sooo badly needed a consistent shooter to keep the D honest.

Imagine if those threes were twos with the plays for taking the ball to the basket. Nope - too selfish.

Are the wings worse on offense or defense? It amazes me how much the wings just stand watching a ball handler and let someone go right by them for a back door cut or offensive rebound. Our wings literally only focus on 1v1 situations, teamball is a concept lost on them which is an indication of poor effort in practice.

This team makes me feel crazy. Like every bounce, every roll goes the other way. Still pretty certain that’s not how the universe works, but I’ve got the psych ward on standby…

What an extremely disappointing season, let’s hope things turnaround next year.

Now that the season is officially over, who returns who doesn’t?

I imagine we’ll have another drastically different roster. I see the following leaving/transferring:

Dante, Harmon, Young, Soares, Wur, Richardson, and Williams.
