Close game through the first half. Second half multiple lead changes thru the first 8 minutes.

[Duck07]

Up 6 with 6 to go.

[Duck07]

badgers have hit 3/4 from 3 late to go up 1 with 90 seconds remaining.

[Duck07]

4/5 from outside, down 2.

Bittle shooting 2 to tie it.

Misses first, hits 2nd.

[Duck07]

Wisconsin wins 61-58 due to their ability to hit 4 of their last 5 3s over the last 7 minutes of the game and not enough offense in response from the Ducks after those buckets in crunch time.

It was a good run while missing so many guys but the Ducks' deficiencies all season long showed up. Oregon really should have won that game but their inability to hit FTs and get key rebounds did them in. Now it's a matter of what the roster even looks like for next season as there could a whole lot of turnover this off-season.

It's clear Dana is not happy with how the game and season went with his postgame comments.

Dana really went on a heater to close his final press conference. You can tell the level of frustration he's had this year.

Wow. Dana was on a roll. So much emotion. Over the years I wished he would have directed some of that emotion towards the refs like other coaches do. But kind of strange he called out the fans. So unlike Dana to do that. What a year! I’m still a big Dana fan…even if the zone at the end of the game was an interesting call to say the least.

I'm really not going to be surprised one way or the other if 2/3 of this year's team is gone next season or 2/3 of the team returns. So far, the only players you can pencil in as for-sure locks at being here are Bittle, Couisnard, the 3 incoming FR, and the recent JC commit. Barthelemy sounds like he's 75/25 or 80/20 at returning. Rigsby feels like he'd return since his biggest issue was just staying healthy. I could see Wur coming back unless he transfers down a level where he'd be a bigger contributor. Williams and Ware just scream transfers at this point. Guerrier and Soares probably have overseas opportunities if they wanted to take them.

3,300 is pathetic, but it is a response to what product you put on the floor. I’m not sure when UO’s spring break is, but that could have played a part. I don’t want Altman going anywhere. Wish Ware stays, but unlikely. However with those that have pledged to stay, combined with the super-class coming in, it could be the perfect storm. Amazing talent coming in, with great experienced upper class to lead the way. Next year has the potential to be incredible.
