I'd be fine if Duarte never took another shot. Ducks are in trouble. Everything going buffs way.

How on earth is Dante a 5 star recruit..... he’s big and he has no idea how to use it. He’s a project that will need at least a full year to figure out basketball at this level. Yuck.

Not sure what it is about Boulder, but Oregon always seems to have terrible shooting nights there. Everything just looks out of sort, almost like everyone was up late celebrating last night's Rose Bowl win.

Just like that, ducks are in striking distance. Just make shots. CU isn't exactly lighting it off on offense.

This team shows again it doesn't break when it gets in a hole. Love the resilience.

Amazing they cut the lead with PP out. Duarte making up for his 1st half performance.

Surprisingly, Oregon is now shooting better overall than CU, but the Buffs have hit 3 more threes than the Ducks.

Really surprising crunch-time lineup right now. Chandler Lawson is in, definitely wouldn't have guessed that, and Juiston is playing despite being fresh off an injury and mostly struggling tonight.

Ducks have gotten within 4 but it seems to stay around a 6-8 point lead for the Buffs. Some silly mistakes and bad outside shooting have ruined some chances for Oregon to get it closer.

Ducks have gone cold again and CU is up by 11. Poor lineup change by Altman by going with Walker and Okoro instead of players like Lawson, Juiston, or Mathis.

Besides Pritchard and Duarte for a stretch in the 2nd half, no one else really helped out on the offensive end. Can't have that happen against a dangerous team like Colorado.

Ducks lose by 9 to Colorado. Altman is now 0-10 in Boulder. One of these days he'll get a win there.

We played a bad game against a good team on the road. Glad we mounted a comeback, I think that bodes well for the future, but obviously still a disappointing night. Offense looked clunky and we didn't create enough good looks, and our shooters didn't save us. Doesn't really change my feelings about this team, which are quite optimistic.

Really not worried after this loss. Team was reintegrating Juiston back in, still working to get Dante in playing condition, and ran into a dangerous, inexperienced Buffs team that has been pretty good so far this season. They'll have to bounce back fast since the Utes have actually looked good considering all the players they had to replace this off-season.Tray Dub wrote:We played a bad game against a good team on the road.
