Wish we could have performed better against UW, but I'm still proud of this team. It was a tall order to go on the road to Washington and pull the game out, but we certainly had our chances.
I think Altman will have Oregon dancing after our staff picks up the missing pieces on the recruiting trail. It's going to be tough to replace Sim/Olu/Devoe in particular, and there were some other productive Seniors, but I still like our chances. It will help that players like Singler have been in Altman's system for two full seasons now, so that may get everyone on the same page quicker. Fun season, and thank you Seniors.

Re: It was still a fun season
I can't wait to see how Emory plays with Artis. I thought Emory was Oregon's most underrated player this season. Next season, he's going to be one of the team's go to guys. Hopefully, he can improve his perimeter shot. I believe he was a 40+% 3 point shooter last year in JC.
Oregon is definitely going to need to pick up a few JC guys. Depth may be a concern. Jacob wasn't the same player after the knee injury, but he was still capable of playing 15 solid minutes a night and had nice midrange game. If Ben Carter bulks up a little more, he may be able to fill this role.
The team is definitely going to need something from Kingma. Hopefully he can develop into a consistent 3 point shooter. He also needs to add some muscle because he got pushed around on defense this year.
It's already been noted in this thread - Tony Woods needs to improve as a rebounder. The guy is 6'11 and gives up position to 6'7 PF. Sometimes, Woods plays way too soft. I like how he's shown some nice footwork around the basket, but the team really needs him to be a defensive/rebounding presence.

Re: It was still a fun season
I just don't see a Tournament bid next season with how much Oregon is losing. I think the NIT again is probably what should be expected out of next year.TheMaehlMan wrote:Wish we could have performed better against UW, but I'm still proud of this team.

Re: It was still a fun season
It probably is a bit soon for me to expect a tourney bid for the reason you suggested, but it is more of a gut-call. I'm not expecting us to get Anthony Bennett, but the targets that we are after would put us in a position to compete for a tourney bid at least. We'll see, definitely have to wait and see how the roster shapes up before the season.greenyellow wrote: I just don't see a Tournament bid next season with how much Oregon is losing.

Re: It was still a fun season
It seemed like to me the team got outrebounded by ALOT the last few weeks, espically giving up alot of offensive rebounds. Overall though like everybody has said great season, exceeded my expactions.
