It was a nice second-half adjustment by Altman to put Duarte in the middle of the floor to pick apart that SC zone, but you have to wonder why it wasn't made earlier? The team also came out pretty tentative and passed up so many open shots. It's frustrating, because we played SC even in the second-half. It was a 5-7 minute stretch in the first-half that determined the game. Both teams are much better than their seeds but hopefully the PAC's performance this year earns the conference more respect moving forward. It would have been fun to finally get a chance at playing Gonzaga!

USC is a tough matchup. And we also missed a good amount of open 3s.
Good for them.. 3 pac-12 teams in the elite 8. Wild!

And one if the FF! But seriously, the Pac-12 needs to win a title soon...by this metric the Pac-12 is the worst power conference. That needs to change.UOducksTK1 wrote:USC is a tough matchup. And we also missed a good amount of open 3s.

Stewart Mandel-"From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I much prefer to watch a good spread-rushing offense over a traditional Power-I offense, and Oregon's has been the most fun by far for the past several years. It's fast, its precise, and when Chip Kelly has the right quarterback (Dixon, Masoli) at the helm, the possibility of someone ripping off a 60-yard run exists on nearly every play."
