Yeah it’s gonna be tight. And unfortunately I see us splitting this next road series which will probably drop us further out.

2/3/22 ESPN: Now listed as the second team on "First 4 Out", so dropped a few places the last two days. Need a win tonight.

2/4/22 - NET up to 51 after the win at Colorado

Have ye no faith?

My 2 cents....I like where this team is headed. I see them (at worst) 7-3 to finish off the year. But, if they keep rounding into form (like nearly every other Altman team), 9-1 is possible with a chance at the regular season title (Though Arizona has a nice lead). This feels like another Conference Tournament Champions type of year for Oregon, even if they fall short of the regular season title.

I think they get in, but depending on seed, lose in either the first round or round of 32.

We are now at the top of the “last 4 byes” list. Moving up.
Just keep winning.

Palm underseeds the Pac-12 every year.

Not worried if we do what we're supposed to from here out. (6-3 would be adequate). Beating Arizona would be a nice bonus of course.

Really curious to see how we do against WSU. Their coach is a big analytics nerd and they're actually above us in the NET right now.

Palm and Lunardi both with Oregon up to a 10 seed after the Stanford win. It's kind of a bummer to me, because I don't think the Ducks are as good this year, but Altman has built such a recognizable product, that the pundits are trained and ready to move his team up the ladder in February as if they were salivating dogs at the dinner bell. Hopefully, Oregon can stay true to form and not blow the pattern too much so that it can be preserved for future runs.
