Texas Southern @ #8 Oregon (Sat 7:30 pm Pac-12 Net)

Not sure how the guys weren't in upset alert mode going into this game, or at least revenge mode from last year....
But we are down with time ticking down and need to get going!

Texas Southern is playing out of their minds, but there's no f'in excuse to have 17 TO's and give up 12 offensive rebounds to these guys.

Dante's man shot it and he literally ran half way down the court, while his man got the rebound.

Just watched a few minute and just from that it was obvious Texas Southern wants it more. TSU got a 3 point play after a few offensive rebounds where Walker stood and watched. Also seems like refs are trying to control the game. Is Dante getting many minutes?

[greenyellow]

Duarte with consecutive threes to put Oregon back up by 4.

Also, Dante is getting minutes and has 6 points to go along with 4 rebounds. You can tell they're still trying to work him in slowly since he'll play like 3-5 minutes at a time and then Okoro comes back in.

[Tray Dub]

And just like that Duarte hits back-to-back threes to make me look like an idiot. I'd take that trade though.

Dante's been getting decent minutes, he's definitely in the rotation. I get the sense that he's still not integrated in what the team is doing, he's just waiting for a chance to make plays on his own. Makes sense since he's only been on the team like ten days or so.

Oregon really needs to work on jumpstops as they've had like 5-6 offensive fouls.

[OregonFan4Life]

Duarte is a turnover machine. What happened to him? That offensive foul was so stupid, took away an easy bucket. Not sure where his head is at.

[rockthief]

Ducks have only 44 shots so far. Wow

Good observation, for sure. Duarte/Patterson in particular both drive really hard, but need to work on their jump stop and passing.

Duarte also needs to learn to pass earlier in those situations. He passes at the last minute allowing the defender to draw a charge. Watch how Pritchard does it with the alley oops, he doesn’t allow any change of getting an offensive foul called on him.

[Tray Dub]

Payton gets blocks instead of charges by just angling his momentum so it glances off the defender rather than going straight into them. I honestly think that's all you need to do for the refs to flip the call.

He sees the entire floor and anticipates in a flash.

[Tray Dub]

Pritchard just hit a, no lie, 40-footer with the shot clock expiring that probably ices the game. Such a freaking stud.

[GrantDuck]

Pritchard took over late again.. we made our FT's today!..outside of that...

To be fair, cornrows was shooting like 21% from 3 before this game and couldn't miss today...they played well, but our big men were atrocious tonight. 13 offensive rebounds for that team is a joke and 19 TO's is just plain sloppy. Our guards are just throwing random ass lob passes instead of fundamental passes or they are committing charges.
