Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Oregon travels to Fresno to face a tough 9-2 Bulldogs team.

Weird to say this, but I think this is one of our 10 most important games of the regular season. Chance for a top 100 RPI away win.

that's a legit take. we really hurt ourselves rpi-wise this year, so beating anyone ahead of us and gaining ground from this point forward is a good win.

not sure what to make of fresno. they haven't really beaten anyone good, but they've dominated most of their wins, which is really all you can do. losses @ arkansas and against evansville, both decent teams and top 100 rpi opponents.

it should be a battle. i don't think enough of us to expect anything more.

One thing that helped our RPI some is Ball State beating Notre Dame. On Fresno State, leading scorer is G, Deshon Taylor at 18.6. So far they have shot very well, 50.7 from the floor, not many 3's They are not very big, Terelle Carter himself is, 6'10 290. He averages 18.9 mins. per game, averaging 8.5 ppg, and 3.5 rpg. Pretty careful with the ball at 12 turnovers per game, compared to 14 for Oregon.

I'd like to see this team play a little defense, quit jacking up 3 point shots at every opportunity and rebound. Just hope it's a close game and somehow Dana can pull it out at the end by out-coaching the other guy.

Down 38-28 at halftime

Up 57-52 with 5 to go.

Ducks on 22-1 run over 8 minutes best defensive half of the year. Wooten is a monster

Wootens got 6 blocks and what I saw in the 2nd half was we protected the basket and altered shots and were able to make baskets near the rim.

Played GREAT d in the 2nd half. Go Ducks!

E Brown finally had a big game at the right time.

Loved that big dude from Fresno talking to Wooten..didn't work out for him..

Very impressive win for the Ducks. Couldn't get anything going offensively, but the D stayed strong, until finally the offense caught up and produced the run at the end. Ducks maintained composure.

Anyone know where I can watch a replay? Need this after the bowl and getting in a car wreck.

Dang, sorry man. Everyone okay?

Great defensive performance tonight in the 2nd half. Didn't like how the offense looked stagnant at times but they somehow found a way to get it going. Big road win for them as they need every win they can get.
