Ya that was a pretty horrendous last 4-6 minutes by Utah. That is going to be a bad loss for UK come the end of the season.Tray Dub wrote:Haha #15 just gave up an easy look for that last would've-been-game-tying 3, but Kentucky can't hit and Utah gets a win. Good for the Pac 12 and should bump us up a spot in the top 25.

Very impressed with Dante. Guy just oozes talent. Okoro is going to have to battle to keep his starting spot and Juiston may very well see some of his minutes taken as well. This team just has so many options that will make them a tough matchup for anyone they play.

If tonight was any indication, Dante is the challenge Okoro needs to take it up a notch...Played great tonight!greenyellow wrote:Very impressed with Dante. Guy just oozes talent.

It's fast, its precise, and when Chip Kelly has the right quarterback (Dixon, Masoli) at the helm, the possibility of someone ripping off a 60-yard run exists on nearly every play."

Didn't realize that Okoro's father had passed last week:

Both looked good tonight. But, it was Montana. If needed, against certain teams, they could both be in the game. They both had 17 Rbs each. Dante had less playing time. Dantes ability to pass was very impressive. Kind of reminded me of Bill Walton way back.bigsugarduck wrote:If tonight was any indication, Dante is the challenge Okoro needs to take it up a notch...Played great tonight!greenyellow wrote:Very impressed with Dante.

Yeah that is really tough. Wish him all the best moving forward. I think Franco will be a beloved player for Oregon by the time he leaves...greenyellow wrote:Didn't realize that Okoro's father had passed last week:

Jeez. Sad to hear. I am sure the team will rallly around him as well as Altman. Francis is one of the toughest kids I've seen play for Oregon in a while. Shoulder injury and he was hit by the car... out there literally playing through it all. Okoro coming back with Payton and Richardson has really carried the program forward.greenyellow wrote:Didn't realize that Okoro's father had passed last week:

Just watched after DVR. Our D looked good. We are still turning it over too much. Dante will help us a lot!
And sad to hear about Okoro's dad..

Man Okoro has had a tough run this year. Banged up, then hit by a car, then father passes away.
Can't help but root for a guy who is still working his ass off through all of that.
..and yeah, Dante had 3 really good passes and they were all different. He had a shuffle pass across the lane to Lawson(who got fouled), he had a kick to the opposite corner for an open look, and then a kick up top to Duarte for a 3 pointer that he nailed. Like Dana said, he has work to do on his defense(and foul shooting/being in shape), but man, there's zero denying the talent. Gotta think he's a lottery pick, especially if we go deep in March.
I also love that he plays the game with a little fun and flair. Dancing on the court after the game, pumping up the crowd. Going to enjoy this season.
