Our 3point shooting is really bad, I don't think Sim is going to ever step it up. 1-8 shooting and 0-4 from the arc.

But it's good to see Armstead and Catron have good games, they'll be key pieces in this season.

Horrible, horrible game to watch. Officials completely took the wind out of this one, everything was a damn foul. Just let them play, for the love of god.

Took him a game and a half, but Armstead finally showed up. Good to see.

If they were Pac-10 refs, then that's to be expected. I don't know why the Pac-10 has some of the worst refs for both football and basketball.

Man, aren't we lucky that Armstead stayed with the team after rumors/or something abt him leaving team. We will be worst without him.

I don't think it was a rumor, he was granted his release and he looked around, but decided to stay. But I do agree, it's great that he stayed.

How does Singler looking shooting the 3? It appears that having someone who can shoot to give balance to Catron and Armstead could do wonders. How has the D looked and anything yet on in-game adjustments?

Last season, spotty free throw shooting cost the Ducks some opportunities, as well as a lack of scoring inside.

Nice to see some positive changes.

Singler's looked good from downtown, 4/6 Friday and 1/2 last night. He's got the kind of form that I'm actually surprised when he misses. Strowbridge has started off slow (2/8) but I think better shot selection would do wonders for him. He, too, has a good looking shot, but he had Tajuan Porter-itis Friday. It looked like Altman got in his ear before last night, he passed up some bad shots and attempted two makeable treys (he made one).

I thought the overall defensive performance was horrific Friday, and terrible the first half yesterday. Denver was 7/8 from deep, and we were rarely in position to get a hand up. Much better in the second half. I like the full court press, and I think our effort is there, this team just isn't built to play great half court defense.
