Oregon @ Washington State (Thursday 3:30 PM)

[quackattack]

porter scored 18 straight for us between 1st & 2nd OTs, several huge shots

Porter is so much better when working with a decent PG>

Dunigan is starting to assert himself as a leader.

Way to win the game, but this game should have been over in regulation. We had way too many turnovers and for some reason we went away from getting the ball inside to Dunigan in the second half. I am really happy we won but we stole it.

Must have been someone from the football team there.

It wasn't pretty, but it's already better than last season. A win in conference on the road is always big.

the kids showed a lot of heart in this game (especially TP....great leadership there and hopefully it carries over the rest of PAC-10 play to the rest of the guys)...never giving up. i really think dunigan is starting to understand his abilities....remember he only started playing when he was in 10th grade.

[DarronThomas5]

So do we not suck?

[bellsduck]

I'll eat crow on this one. I was counting this as one of our losses in Pac-10. Good job.

[duckgrad99]

Every now and then, Porter has games like this. It's a good thing he was healthy for this game. In my opinion though, how good or how bad this team does the rest of the season will be determined by point guard play from Armstead and the inside game from Dunigan. If these two play like they have been the last few games, Oregon will win games.

I've been reading the conversation section from this game on espn.

Wazzou fans can't control themselves, they believe that
a) refs were paid off
b)they are the Wooden UCLA Bruins and anytime they lose it is an earth shattering event and they never beat themselves, all their losses are pfficiating conspiracies.

WSU basketball fans are quite fascinating.

[duckgrad99]

22 points, 12 rebounds and 5 blocks for Dunigan. 7 assists from Armstead.

[woundedknees]

The fouls called in favor of Wazzu were ridiculous... I don't want to hear about payoffs.

[echo31]

what a crazy end to a game!

a win like this, on the road, can give a team a lot of confidence ... let's hope that's the case here.

[Brophdog88]

you know, regarding Dunigan not playing huge minutes...remember that he missed a few games with injury, and maybe Ernie decided to slowly work him back as he wasn't in game shape....still this team is a long ways from that Missouri debacle...impressive gutty win Porter showed he can win us games without Aaron Brooks next to him and is important to this team.

[buckmarkduck]

First off great game and win by the ducks!!!

Second wsu fans are high. PK doesn't want to keep big Ernie around any more than 80% of UO fans, so I guarantee he didn't pay anyone off.
