Can we just go home? That was one of the worst starts I’ve ever seen for DA, especially for how much talent we have.

It just shows we have a lot of good individual talent that doesn’t know how to play together yet. I’m not too worried, but hard to watch.

DA is a miracle worker, just wish he could get it going a little earlier in the year. These games cost us seeding in the tourney.

Ya, true. Buy BYU may be a top 25 team so a loss to them on a neutral court isn’t a huge deal. We still have Baylor and hopefully a Maui Invitation game or two, to help get us a nice non-conference win or two.

Nobody can guard Barcello. Hasn’t missed a shot, getting what he wants. If the Ducks need to be told to cover the hot shooter…

Just a bad game. s*** happens. BYU can’t miss and Oregon is coming up short on almost every shot. Young singlehandedly taking them out of this game. Missed easy lay-in, turnover, missed 3, and getting burnt multiple times on consecutive possessions. Rough night, but nothing to worry about.

Barcello 8 for 8
Oregon 8 for 33

Haha ESPN just showed that stat. Yikes!

I don’t know why Bittle and Johnson aren’t in this game by now. Let them get some experience against good teams.

Bittle's in and is hustling at least

I think you mean Johnson. Bittle hasn’t played yet.

Down 29, Young just got rim-checked on an open dunk. This is one to forget.

Nope, it’s Johnson.

To be determined if the Ducks have a killer this year, like a Pritchard, Dillon Brooks, or Duarte. Will someone step up? Those guys always played like they refused to lose.

Oregon tends to have a game or two like this every season so I'm not too worried. I'm sure Altman will use this game and film to get the team working hard heading into the Maui Invitational. They get to play Chaminade first so that's a nice tune-up game for either St. Mary's/Notre Dame.

I’m sick of BYU owning the PAC this year. Football, now basketball.

What in the world. I wasn’t able to watch and thought for sure the final score was a typo… yikes.

Why do I seem to end up with altitude headaches every time the Ducks play in Utah or Colorado?

Flush that one.

Offensively, and I'm sure Dana will say this, this is about as bad as I can remember our ball movement at Oregon. Everyone was trying to go 1 on 1 driving the whole game.

Defensively, losing #13 as often as we did was a real head scratcher, considering he's their only big scoring threat. BYU played a bit above their heads on that end, but it happens.

In terms of talent, "small ball" isn't going to work this year like it did last year. Duarte/Omoruyi are better than anyone on our team this year. We have to get Dante/Bittle/Kepnang/Johnson all playing regularly, or at LEAST 2 of them. Altman needs to go to it sooner rather than waiting too long with small ball, because we don't have the talent for it this year and we DO have big men. Guerrier at the 5 isn't going to work, period.

The only real "disappointment" as a player was Will Richardson. He's experienced and there's no excuse for him to play that poorly as the team's leader.
