So coming off facing #25 UConn, the Ducks now get #12 Michigan State, who lost by 11 to #18 Alabama last night.

Michigan state played a good game when I watched them against Kentucky.

I’m just hoping for a game within 10 points.

The loser of this game will have to play Villanova, which lost to Portland by 12 today.

Ducks led most of the half but couldn't buy a bucket or a stop for about the final 3-4 minutes before Soares was able to get the three before the buzzer to close MSU's lead. They might have a chance but the shooting and defense really needs to go back to how it was before MSU went on that big run.

With Dante likely out the rest of the game, I don’t see how they pull this off. Guys are going to wear down in the 2nd half, as the leftover guys will essentially have to play the entire half. Having 2 walk ons see significant minutes against a top 15 team is not the path to success.

Plus now Bittle is out and in the locker room. Not sure how much worse it can get on the injury-front.

It’s down to the point of absurdity. 3 walk ons have played tonight and they are tied with a top 15 team midway through second half. However, they’ll probably lose and people will be calling for Altman’s head. Haha

Richardson has looked more confident than he has all season, which is great to see.

This is certainly a much better showing than last night but the Ducks look absolutely gassed right now.

Yeah, it was inevitable they’d tire out without being able to sub out. Guerrier fouls out after 2 very ticky tack calls in the span of a minute. Down to 4 scholly guys. Going to take a miracle to pull it out. Impressive fight though tonight.

[greenyellow]

Those were some absolute BS calls on Guerrier. Never seen Altman so angry before.

[greenyellow]

Another questionable foul call as Wur got all ball on the steal and somehow was whistled for the foul. Amazing Oregon is still in this with all their injury issues.
