I'm already lamenting the fact that he's only going to be here for a few more months lol

Dante showing what the ducks have been missing in the post thus far this season. He really rounds out the team, and Pritchard is playing like he knows exactly what to do with a guy like Dante by the basket. This is going to be fun.

Playing with someone like Dante isn't exactly new for Pritchard as he's played with uber-athletic big men like Boucher, Bell, and Wooten in the past.

Uh...yeah. That's why I said he knew what to do with Dante.

The color guy sounds like a little kid: "When will Dante play? When do you think we will see Dante again?"

Dante is an NBA lottery pick, no doubt about it.

He will be up and down this year with adjusting to #pac12refs and pace of the game, but the talent you cannot deny. Impressed with his passing. You can tell he's been double teamed a few times. :D Would like to see him be more aggressive on the glass than he was today.(he can be).


Patterson and Walker went back to fully looking like freshman again tonight.

..and I'm still a massive Will Richardson fan.

Okoro could average 15 a game if he had like 10% more offensive awareness. Guys throw him lobs and he just watches, lol.

He did have a really nice first half though.

Yep, it's been a slow burn. They might hold on despite how ugly it's been down the stretch though.Timmy Allen looks like a stud btw.

Yeah he looks good but not much else about Utah does. Their PG #15 is just absolute trash.

Kinda embarrassing....You can tell Utah will never win a game against Altman...very weak finish
Stewart Mandel-"From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I much prefer to watch a good spread-rushing offense over a traditional Power-I offense, and Oregon's has been the most fun by far for the past several years. 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."

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.
