Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Tough loss, the Ducks played sloppy, but there is a lot of positive to take from this game. This team is new, they need more time to gel, but I felt like talent wise, Oregon was the superior team. Unfortunately, the most basic of fundamentals beat them. Gotta block out, make your free throws, and keep possession of the ball! Granted the refs were awful, and I'm not sure if they have ever read the rule book, but Oregon still had plenty of opportunities to overcome that, but lack of blocking out on the defensive end and free throws ruined those chances. I was disappointed with Jabari Brown, but he's a True Freshman. My friend was calling him out for being turnover prone, and I quickly pointed out DeAnthony Thomas after his first game. The kid shows promise, he just needs to settle down and relax. That first three looked good. This team has athleticism, skill, and size. Once they gel, watch out for this basketball team! This team could be special, it will be fun to see how they do for the rest of the season. GO DUCKS!

Forget everything I just said.

doesn't matter. cleveland state is good, and would probably beat us right now, too.

you might not have heard of cleveland state before, but they are a really good mid-major team with a lot of seniors. they can go deep this year into march. i've had my eye on them since last season.

that said, they aren't the 7th best team in the nation and neither is vandy.


i would expect cleveland state to beat oregon, but there are a lot of teams i think would beat oregon. i still don't have too high of an opinion on the ducks as of now. i do, however, have a high opinion on our coach.

Vanderbilt is underperforming right now and they are missing two key players.

Cleveland State is really good. Norris Cole was a stud for them last year and ended up being a 1st round pick. They are one of the better mid-majors.
