Houston @ #11 Oregon (Fri 6 PM Pac-12 net)

Offensive rebounding continues to be an issue, like it always has been under Altman. He should hire an assistant who only teachers defensive/rebounding positioning for big guys.

Yay this is gonna be one of those halves where both teams are in the double bonus by the 8 minute mark. Gosh I just LOVE college basketball refs!

When this team turns it on they're dang good! This team certainly has Final Four potential especially with Dante. Matthis was such a good addition, just wish they recruited him out of high school!

Oregon just running roughshod over Houston here in the 2nd half. Also helps that the Cougars can't hit a 3-pointer to save their lives.

Nice win before they head off to the Bahamas for the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament

I like the perimeter defense so early in the year. Even the paint is pretty good for this early.

First half had me nervous. We were getting killed on the boards!!

Good win. Seemed like Oregon was badly outplay under the rim though. Haven't seen the box but Houston was getting lots of offensive rebounds.

Mathis is a great addition. A Lloyd type assassin from the arc.

Love the abundance of talented wings this year. Hopefully at least two will develop into players who can reliably create off the dribble and either get to the hoop or drive and dish.

Still unsure how Oregon will match with a grinding half court offense with talented bigs.

That is what a Top 10, which the Ducks are likely to be come Monday, should do to an unranked opponent at home. The new guys are picking things up fast, and Okoro & Richardson are duel Most Improved.

I read all of the posts about how the ducks are getting killed in the paint and on the glass and I think how nice it would be if only we had a 6'11, 250 pound, rebounding, shot-blocking menace on the way who could help in the post. Boy, then the ducks could really play with the big boys.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Richardson start getting more and more time. I really like his game.

Love Will Richardson. Curious to see how he does if he's the primary ballhandler next year.
