MBB: USC @ #12 Oregon (Thu 8 PM ESPNU)

Great win but Will Rich has regressed again.

Yeah, remember when people were really high on him? He has completely disappeared since then. Time for him to turn things back around.

Great win but Will Rich has regressed again.

And what has happened with Mathis? Incredible inconsistency from a couple of players you would like more of that consistency.

[GrantDuck]

Duarte is becoming the player I thought he could be out of JuCo watching him. Special kid. Special night for him. He has to be the reliable #2 scorer for us that we've lacked this year(and most of last year until King got his feet wet).


Thought our effort went to s*** and let USC back into the game in the 2nd half. I don't think CJ Walker has had to use his body to block out in his life and it shows, but then he had a huge bucket late in regulation.

Verne Harris continues to be one of the worst refs in CBB. He was the one that ejected brooks for not tearing his ACL a few years back. f*** him. That Ogonku kid clobbered Duarte at least 3 times inside and no calls. You could see Altman and Mennenga losing their minds at the non-calls. Dumbass ref doesn't realize just because his hands are straight up that he's body checking the hell out of people.


There's something that's a bit off the last few games with our offense and shooting, but hopefully we figure it out.

Still steaming mad at Verne Harris, LOL. Fk that guy.

Altman actually said something about the refs in postgame, which I've heard him do like once before his whole career.

The last 2 games we've gotten ZERO calls at the rim against UW and then USC's big guys when they are just straight up body checking our guards. Stewart walled up pretty well, but I though Ogonku got away with 4-5 fouls where he straight body checked our guys in there. Duarte 2-3 times. It's NOT fking verticality when a guy goes straight up with his arms but jumps 3 feet into the offensive player.

Man...this team

We’re gonna lose a couple more away games just because, but this team has some onions

Maybe i'm just annoyed Oregon let them back in the game, but wtf is with these announcers?...I really find them obnoxious

Yeah! At the end they kept saying how USC was tired and ran out of gas. Pritchard and Duarte played 46 min. and Lawson 45. Give Ducks credit for being better conditioned. Part of game. They pressed whole game. Not as bad as some but did favor USC.

Even if Rich is not shooting well, he is a better defender and can attack the basket better than Mathis. If Mathis is not shooting at a decent clip, Rich is going to get those minutes because of all the little things he does well.

I really like that Pritch, Rich, Duarte, Walker, and Lawson lineup.

Watched some of the replay, and man, Duarte has great footwork! He is always shifting and sliding his feet the way they need to be to quickly attack the ball or the basket.The little hops and shifts reminded me of an old-timey boxer...

I wonder if he did some boxing in the DR growing up.

His game is still pretty raw in some areas, but if he shoots just a little more consistently(say 39-40% instead of 36%) and polishes his finishes inside, he'll be a pro.

Watched the highlights of this game. DVR didn't grab it correctly, bummer. Which I was able to watch full thing.

Duarte's got skills. Last two games he's playing like he wants to be in the NBA!

Take out his first 8 games at Oregon, because he was a little nervous, and his stats are very good.
