Boise State @ Oregon (Sat 8 PM Pac-12 Net)

[greenyellow]

Ducks win 106-75. They shot 70% from the field for the game. Still think this team is only scratching the surface at how good they can be, especially when they were playing without Okoro and could likely get Dante in December.

Patterson 7-7 from the floor, and Mathis 9-11 from 3. Ducks shoot 70.0% and rout Boise 106-75.

Great game dishing the ball. Juiston with 9 assists, Duarte and Pritchard each with 7.

With so many new guys getting serious minutes, it's very impressive how quickly they have meshed, both offensively & defensively. Very few turnovers, good # of assists. aren't leaving opposing players open. Have to work on free throws.

That was impressive....

Juiston is Saaaaaaavvvvyyy...Love what he is going to be bring this year.
Patterson looks like he is definitely going to be a streaky contributor. Great aggressive one-on-one ability so far.
Lawson will contribute.
Mathis....Whoa! It's not going to be that easy most nights but it is great to have someone with that ability.

Most of all, this team just looks sooooo much smarter. Better passers than last year. The ceiling is high.

Really impressed with Patterson's ability to finish. He looked on some plays like a veteran instead of a guy who just re-classified to get into college a few months ago.

We keep talking about all the new faces, but Mathis, Juiston, and Duarte are all veterans, and they showed it tonight. We are so used to our teams looking lost at the beginning of the season, but this time it was the other guys who looked that way, and our guys really seemed to have the edge in terms of experience and basketball I.Q. Hopefully that carries over to the Memphis game.

How crazy is our luck the last couple Novembers? Okoro gets hit by a car?!

Anyhow, good win. Juiston was a really good passer tonight.

I continue to like Lawson more than Walker. Walker looks like the 2nd most raw player on the team outside of Wur.

Patterson is really filling out in the Oregon weight program already. Guy is oozing talent. I think he will have some great games and some head scratchers and then be a breakout star as a sophomore.

I'll take "our luck" over the Blazers' luck any day of the week.

Impressed with the depth. As was posted, Okoro and Dante will make it even deeper. Should be great seasons for both the men and ladies.

If this team gets a good front court, we are gonna be a good team!

Patterson's shot chart looks like Shaq's. He could easily finish as a 60% shooter for the year. The number of shots will be harder now after just 1 game. I'd pull the scholarship from any of my players that played up on him outside were I the opposing coach. He sure made a big jump from game 1 to 2 as did Juiston and Lawson.

Mathis is so fluid in everything he does.

Was that number 3 out there a grad transfer from Duke? (bait in the water). He was better than his stat line and his stat line was pretty damn good.

The defense was pretty dang good. The pace of the Oregon offense resulted in a lot of scoring opportunities for BSU, thus the relatively high points against. With some interior shot blocking (I'm looking at you NCAA) the defense could be well above average.

I like this team thru 2 games, they are further along than I expected they would be. Having a strong go to leader out there seems to make integrating so many new pieces easier and quicker.

Just my opinion, but I disagree on both. Walker's talent is immense. Far too early to judge a guy based off of 22 minutes where he has barely touched the ball. He will be a huge contributor but mid-season. On the other hand, Patterson had a good game, but I don't think he'll see the court much w/ the amount of guards we have this year. Plus, a lot of his shots were pretty easy tonight.

Anyone know if extended highlights of this game exist? I only see <2 minutes highlights on Youtube. Thanks!

I agree, he got in silly foul trouble in this game, and as he cleans up the little things, he'll start to shine again. I also think he surprises some with his 3-point shooting skills.
